Summary "The Old Room" by Carl Ewald is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds within the confines of a mysterious and grand room in a home, primarily focusing on the intertwined lives of its owners, Cordt and his wife, Fru Adelheid. The book explores themes of love, marriage, and the complexities of emotional intimacy, reflecting on how personal desires can conflict with societal expectations. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to the titular room, a richly decorated chamber that serves as a secret and sacred space for the couple. This opening portion sets a tone of introspection, revealing the struggles within Cordt and Adelheid's marriage as they navigate their feelings about love, fidelity, and societal roles. As they prepare for an evening out, tension arises between their desires for independence and the bonds of their relationship. The vivid descriptions of the room emphasize its significance as both a physical and symbolic space for the couple, illustrating their inner conflicts and the weight of tradition on their modern lives.
