The Red Room

i read the short story, The Red Room, written by Lucy Maud Montgomery. I found it on a website and had never heard of it so I decided to read it. It starts off with a mother telling the story to her daughter of when she was young. She told her about when she used to go visit her grandma's house for christmas and the odd things that would happen there. It was a very odd story and i picked up on certain things that happened but wasn't sure if I was understanding them correctly. The young girl, Beatrice, told stories of her uncle and his wife, who she met for the first time that one christmas. It seemed like they had a really weird relationship and almost seemed a little sexual. The story is about Beatrice and her aunt, who become very close. I think her aunt had mental issues because she seemed very munipulating and finally her affair with her foreign lover surfaces right in front of her husband, Beatrice's uncle. She continues to live in her room, "The Red Room," until her husband comes home from work one day. He finds her about to kill herself and she finally stabs him in the chest with a dagger, killing him. The story is very odd but kind of interesting because it had a lot of twists to it. Because her uncle died in that "Red Room," hardly anyone ever goes in there after his death. Beatrice is telling her daughter this story because she is going to visit her grandma shortly in the same exact house with the "Red Room." Overall, I thought this story was very interesting but also very weird at the same time.
