View?

I have just finished this novel. This one is a good one especially the role of the heroine, who struggles between convention and her own passion. This character is rather tipicall at that time, while at last she submits to her own heart.
I want to raise a question for those who have already reading it.
Does the word "view" in the title has any deep meaning and why the author chooses this name? Look forward to your answers!!!

The title refers to the lack of maturity in Lucy Honeychurch, and through the novel Lucy develops and acquires a 'view' of life. The room is the constricted society and tight beliefs that Lucy has been forced into, and the view that she gets in Italy is the starting point for the acquisition of her view.
