Throughout the story, Poe uses certain objects and characters as symbols to explain and show the theme, one of them is room seven. This room is the last out seven rooms to be mentioned, and one that nobody seems to like throughout the entire story. Poe writes, “But in the western or black chamber the effect of the fire light that streamed upon the dark hangings, through the blood panes, was ghastly in the extreme, that there were few of the company bold enough to set foot within its precincts at all,” (Poe, 84). For Poe to put in a room that basically everyone is afraid of, just hints for later on in the story, that this room is possibly dangerous. What he writing here is that this room should not be here, it should not have ever been built,
