CHAPTER XI HAPPY PEOPLE It was seven o clock in the evening. The band at Berns s was playing the Wedding March from A Midsummer Night s Dream, when to the accompaniment of its inspiriting strains Olle Montanus made his entry into the Red Room. None of the members had yet arrived. Olle looked imposing. For the first time since his confirmation he was wearing a high hat. He was dressed in a new suit, and his boots were without holes; he had had a bath, had been newly shaved, and his hair was waved as if he were going to a wedding. A heavy brass chain ornamented his waistcoat, and his left waistcoat pocket bulged visibly. A sunny smile lit up his features; he radiated kindness; one might have thought that he wanted to help all the world with little loans. Taking off his overcoat, no longer cautiously buttoned up, he took the centre of the sofa in the background, opened his coat and tugged at his white shirt front so that it rose with a crackle and stood out like an arch; at every movement the lining of his waistcoat and trousers creaked. This seemed to give him as much pleasure as the knocking of his boot against the leg of the sofa. He pulled out his watch, his dear old turnip, which for a year and a month s grace had been in the pawnbroker s hands, and the two old friends both seemed to enjoy its liberty. What had happened that this poor fellow should be so inexpressibly happy? We know that he had not drawn the winner in a lottery, that he had not inherited a fortune, that he had not been honourably mentioned, that he had not won the sweet happiness which baffles description. What had happened then? Something very commonplace: he had found work. Sellen was the next to arrive. He wore a velvet jacket and patent-leather boots; he carried.

The Red Room" (Swedish: "Röda rummet") is a satire of Stockholm society, it has frequently been described as the first modern Swedish novel. While receiving mixed reviews in Sweden, it was acclaimed in Denmark, where Strindberg was hailed as a genius. As a result of "The Red Room", Strindberg became famous throughout Scandinavia. Edvard Brandes wrote that it "makes the reader want to join the fight against hypocrisy and reaction". A young idealistic civil servant, Arvid Falk, leaves the drudgery of bureaucracy to become a journalist and author. As he explores various social activities - politics, publishing, theatre, philanthropy, and business - he finds more hypocrisy and political corruption than he thought possible. He takes refuge with a group of "bohemians", who meet in a red dining room in Berns Salonger to discuss these matters. 1. Language: English. Narrator: William Peck.

"The Red Room" is the room of life that holds the motley crowd of pretenders, the high and the mighty and the out-at-the-elbow folk who persist in living a life of humbug, that ends in the cessation of mental and spiritual growth. Religious swindle and charitable fraud are excoriated; the sheep's clothing is stripped from malicious women and hypocritical men who minister to their own vanity by ostentatious works of charity. The book presents, as it were, a section of a crowded street, with all the passersby, rich, poor, good, bad, high, and low, held up for a microscopic analysis of their souls, which Strindberg sees as sheathing their bodies. In his pitiless subjectivity Strindberg is the most ruthless of novelists and dramatists; that is why we turn from him with a kind of dread. Before his searching vision our self-excusing withering; we feel that God would pity us where this man has judged. And yet no one—such is the duality of the man—is more lenient or loving toward humanity than Strindberg in his illumined moments. "The Red Room" ends with one of those transfigured scenes of wedded bliss that Strindberg, who could not be happy married to any woman, was able to conceive.
