The Skylight Room by O. Henry— Review

The story «The Skylight Room» by O. Henry masterfully condemns human callousness, egoism, which is combined with the humiliation of human dignity.

The main character is the girl who lives on the very top of the house is in a stuffy, cramped attic with sloping bare walls, so reminiscent of a coffin, and a single window. Here live people who are not able to pay much money for rent.

This girl manages to find an outlet even in such a gloomy attic. An outlet that saved her even in the most difficult moments.

Here is the link to the text of the story:
