How we cite our quotes: [Part.Paragraph]
Quote #4
I think [Ma]'s still cranky about moving the furniture, that was a crazy plan. (1.535)
For Ma, it would be nice to mix up the furniture arrangement inside Room. That's about all she can do to keep it fresh. But Jack enjoys the way everything stays the same, so she doesn't do it; she wants to keep him comfortable.
Quote #5
"Do we go into TV for dreaming?" "No. We're never anywhere but here." Her voice sounds a long way away. (1.601-1.602)
Although Jack can pick up on the change in Ma's tone of voice, he doesn't understand why she sounds this way. She's been trapped inside Room for eight years, with nowhere else to go. Not a day goes by without her wishing she was out of there.
Quote #6
Ma stops, she puffs out a long breath. "I need to hit something," she says, "but I don't want to break anything." "Why not?" "Actually, I'd love to break something. I'd love to break everything." (2.605-2.607)
With the power out in Room, Ma feels increasingly trapped and she wants to break out even more. But she can't. So the urge to break out becomes the urge to simply break something in order to vent all that pent-up rage at being pent up.
