Reading The Red Room | Alexandria
Read The Red Room by August Strindberg. Discovering a husband's murderous plot through a hidden red room shatters a woman's reality in Strindberg's psychological thriller. Beyond domestic suspense, the text daringly suggests that excessive love can breed paranoia and violence - a counterintuitive take that challenges romantic ideals. The story's exploration of trust, surveillance and power dynamics remains chillingly relevant in our privacy-obsessed era.
