This is the third time that I have read something on SK's books that deal with temples. As far as I can remember, that is. Last year, I read about three books by Stephen King and two of them had scenes on temples.
'Salem's Lot.
Duma Key.
Now, Rose Madder. It's not that there is a pattern. It's just that I am just awed by how SK uses this place as a start of the quests of the characters. Sometimes, it even poses as a transformation place for these persons because it's as if they realize something as they pass through the temples of their stories.
You might think that there will be a similarity to these stories. But no, there aren't. Three very different stories. One icon to deliver the message.
I am now on the part where Rose is somewhere within something she doesn't know. Like her, I am still trying to figure out whether it was just a dream, a reality or a part of the painting. All of them seemed real, and if it were, then this has something to do with her quest to forget her past and change her future.
