While she seems perturbed and rocks herself, she says, "And we're not
bothered. And nobody bothers us." She clings to the hope that she can be
at peace in her room. However, after her husband leaves to drive his van, a
couple named Mr. and Mrs. Sands knock on the door, as they've heard
Rose's room is to let. Later in the play, a blind black man enters the room,
and Bert comes home and attacks the man. At the end of the play, Rose
says that she is no longer able to see. It is apparent that Roses's attempts
to keep the horror and want of the outside world at bay have been futile.
Despite her attempt to stay warm, she finds herself out in the cold and
vulnerable.
Two people in a room. I am dealing a great deal of the time with this image
of two people in a room. The curtain goes up on stage and I see it as a very
potent question: What is going on between two people in the room? Is
someone going to open the door and come in? ---obviously they are scared
of what is outside the room. Outside the room there is a world bearing upon
them which is frightening. I am sure it is frightening to you and me as well."
