Text notes

Here are some very basic notes i wrote whilst reading the text for the first time. I fully intend to print the text out and go through it thoroughly writing notes and highlighting key points.

Room-dark, small, half drawn curtains no artificial light,

Table with sample cloths- travelling salesman.

‘Hung the picture which he had cut out of an illustrated magazine a little while ago and set in a pretty gilt frame- picture of a woman with a fur hat and a fur boa.

Metal window frame

Bed- posts,

Carpet

Wooden door and key, brown fluid on it and floor

Melancholy,

Props: travel guides, bus/train times, car information? Chest of drawers, alarm clock,
a bowl stood there, filled with sweetened milk, in which swam tiny pieces of white bread

Military history- neat bedroom could reflect this


He lay at an angle in the door opening. His one flank was really sore from the scraping. On the white door ugly blotches were left


high, open room

selection of food on floor
Bare room, maybe only couch in it towards the end of the story.
Messy and dirty at the end with gunk trailing on the ceiling and walling.
