What is the importance of the bedchamber in the poem, They Flee from Me?

In contrast to the natural landscape offered through the forest setting, the poem also features the constructed, intimate setting of the speaker's bedchamber. Nowhere is this setting more prevalent than in the speaker's memory of his sexual encounter with one woman in particular, who undresses herself and asks the speaker how he likes her naked form. The bedchamber is the site of the speaker's shared intimacy with the women he has now lost; he suggests that they have once again returned to the forest – i.e., that they have started to seek other lovers – and reverted back to their "wild" ways.
