THE SYMBOLISM OF WINDOWS IN ENGLISH FICTION: A PERSONAL REFLECTION

This article explores how windows are used as symbols in English literature. Windows appear in many novels, and they are not just parts of buildings. They are symbols of freedom, dreams, and also of being trapped. I noticed this while reading many books, and it made me think a lot. When characters stand near windows, they often feel deep emotions. In this personal article, I reflect on five famous English novels: Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, To the Lighthouse, A Room with a View, and The Yellow Wallpaper. In these works, windows help us understand the characters better. They show us who is dreaming, who is suffering, and who wants to break free. I try to explain this idea in simple English, with my own thoughts as a reader who feels deeply connected to these stories.
