- ... work the other way around. A person who is well liked and trustworthy is less likely to be the target of a bad motive. In The Tragedy of Hamlet this idea is demonstrated through Hamlet’s temporary insanity when he stated: I am but mad north-north. When the wind is southerly I know a hawk from a hand-saw.

- 10376: A Room With A View Windy Corner Versus A Well Appointed Flat

The first comparison to be drawn between the two environs is of their names. This is the ... definitely applicable to that household. The Corner suggests a sheltered resting-place, which is quite appropriate because the household does seem somewhat removed or protected from society. This is in stark contrast to Mrs Vyse s flat.

The physical interiors are just ...
