Drawers, Chests and Wardrobes - Summary


This excerpt from The Poetics of Space, attempts to explain and show examples of the difference between image and metaphor. Bachelard successfully does so through the literary study of drawers, chests and wardrobes and their deeper meaning to the human psyche. The chapter analyzes the natural human response to order, desire, imagination, secrets, and time.



This summary is my personal understanding of the chapter by Bachelard, and is not intended to simply reflect the views of my peers, mentors, and/or other scholarly sources.
