In "My Name Is Red," Orhan Pamuk presents a metaphor where the world is likened to a palace filled with countless interconnected rooms. To explore these rooms, one must actively use their memories and imagination. However, many individuals tend to avoid this challenge, preferring the comfort of familiar surroundings.
This idea reflects on human nature, illustrating how laziness can prevent personal growth and exploration. By not venturing beyond their current "room," people miss out on richer experiences and deeper understandings that life has to offer.
