Forster explores relationships with a cast of eccentric characters gathered in an Italian pension and in England. Lucy Honeychurch must make a decision; She is forced to choose between her love for a working man, and the safe but conventional marriage to an idle rich middle-class gentleman. Forster brings us into a world of culture and 19th century snobbery. Forster takes us to Florence, Italy and Tuscany; a place of magic and scenery unmatched by any postcard. We are lead to a culture of another era set in a timeless beauty found only under a Tuscan sun; A contrast to Lucy’s life back home at Windy Corners in England. Around every corner Forster paints a picture that is vivid and enchanting; A hillside in Tuscany where famous painters visit, a square that fills the evening air with excitement and a pilgrimage to scenic cityscapes. A Room With A View begins in a pension with a view of the Arno. Charlotte Bartlett, Lucy’s companion, travels to Florence, Italy, acting as Lucy's chaperone; a part of Charlotte’s costs for the trip are borne by Lucy’s mother. Poor Charlotte soon is much fascinated with the other characters at their lodgings and is distracted from her duties as chaperone. Lucy finds a new freedom and takes us through many settings of old and quaint urban sight seeing and adventure. She meets George Emerson and his father Mr.Emerson.
