Room number 147

The novel is one of the branches of literature, and since it is connected to it, the writer employs through it the best impactful methods, wonderful artistic skills, and creative techniques to be able to convey meaningful ideas and messages. The title: Why Room 147 and specifically this number? I think everyone who has heard of it and seen this title has asked this question, and this is what made the title one of the literary merits of this novel, which enabled the author to embed a desire to read the novel within the reader’s mind. This is what we saw in the words of one beloved person from Egypt, who mentioned: (The title of the novel made me eager and excited to read it, even though I do not know its content). The storytelling method of the novel was unconventional, resembling in suspense, excitement, and temporal-spatial transitions the novel "Shadow Government" by Munther Al-Qabbani, and in some ways, the novels of Dan Brown. As soon as the reader begins with the first page, they feel the suspense and enthusiasm that refuse to let them put it down until they finish it completely. What characterizes the novel is the mixture in narration between the intellectual, philosophical, literary character and the entertaining, smooth, and simple character. The novel is characterized by being easy to understand yet profound, understood by everyone, and did not include pretentious or complicated language that would make the novel heavy and boring for the reader. On the contrary, it combined the two aforementioned aspects. The intellectual, purposeful tone was directed towards readers of all classes, especially the educated elite. The author excelled in combining these two aspects, as he did not let the purposeful intellectual tone overshadow the smooth and simple entertaining aspect. The work was a mixture of both. The novel included a beautiful, literary, and rich language with metaphors, hints, and elements of creative expression that influence the reader’s soul. The dialogue formed an essential part of the novel, with each dialogue serving as a lesson, a meaningful message, and a comprehensive goal that the author aimed to deliver through creative and literary images and narrative language to the reader. One of the most affecting pages and lines that made the reader deeply affected and caused waves of feelings to clash was the message written by Montaser to his family, which contained wonderful feelings and poetic language. The result: the author succeeded in conveying noble messages and goals through what he presented in his novel and the characters within it, which perfectly reflect the real image present in society and what we live in reality. That each of us is a "beloved" and we wait for "Montaser," who lives inside each of us, to light our way, stir the stagnant waters, and hide within us the fire of hope and the desire to emerge from the darkness of heedlessness. And whoever wants to be a "Montaser" should know that ("A person will not reach glory until he licks patience"). And it is impossible, in any way, especially in this crazy world and this mental hospital whose owners want us not to wake up and to remain in the sea of ignorance, to go from the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain without effort, sacrifice, patience, and enduring hardships. And know, dear beloved, that ("Bliss is not achieved by bliss") and also ("There is no honey without the bee's sting").
