It's an obtuse question. Define "work well." Does that mean in a dramatic context? As a concept? I'll answer the former and the latter. The Red Room dramatically is a representation of The Other as a place – The Other meaning someone dark, mysterious, strange and uncontrollable. The Other is a dramatic motif in many stories – it's about fear of the unknown. It's ungrounded and timeless and creepy as hell.
