The Honeychurch’s are rather wealthy, and enjoy the luxuries of upper class lifestyle. Charlotte Bartlett is Lucy’s older, poorer cousin.

The conventional English tourist does not care to learn about the foreign people, but he or she is infatuated with the country’s past history and art.

First, he translates “the lack of view [of Lucy and Charlotte’s initial room] as symptomatic of the [English] cultural narrow mindedness” (Sampaio 900). Both Lucy and Charlotte are arrogant when

Coming from an upper class, Lucy’s perspective on life has always been encompassed on social norms. The people she interacts with and rules she must follow all have a distinct relationship to her social class.

As Forster brilliantly contrasts the meanings of two distinct, important settings in the story, which, through different symbols and figures, have a huge impact on the overall character development of the protagonist, Lucy Honeychurch, the story descriptively uses satire to show the impact that society has on love and social relationships, to convey the overall meaning of the story. A Room With A View revolves around the thematic concept of love versus society.
