Despite arranged marriages having a seemingly practical effect, the strong connection between two lovers caused them to become less common. Today, it is more common to marry the one your heart loves but finding that true love is not always an easy journey. In Room With A View, E. M. Forster uses the contrast of settings in order to show that true love that comes from the heart always wins.
