The phrase 'coming and going in a roundabout manner' in 'Dream of the Red Chamber' might have originated from the Chinese classic novel 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. In the novel, this sentence referred to the estrangement between Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai after Jia Baoyu was demoted to live in the Xue family where Xue Baochai lived because of his mother, Grandmother Jia. The word "detour" in this sentence could be understood as "go to another place" and "come" meant "enter".
It should be noted that the specific meaning of this sentence may vary according to the context and may have different explanations according to the context used.
It's a complex tale involving a small town suddenly cut off from the outside world by a mysterious dome. There are power struggles, secrets revealed, and characters facing various challenges within this isolated environment.
Under the Dome is purely fictional. The plot and characters are made up to captivate the audience and take them on an imaginative journey, not drawn from real-life events.
Under the Dome was a novel by Liu Cixin. The novel has been adapted into many forms, including movies and TV series. The movie version is the most famous.
Under the dome was a Chinese historical drama. The drama tells the story of a luxury hotel owner in Los Angeles in the early 20th century who used the ventilation system under the dome to secretly carry out various illegal activities.

I think the theme is about survival. In the 'under the dome novel', the characters are trapped under the dome. They have to find ways to survive, which includes getting food, water, and dealing with possible threats within that enclosed space. So, survival is a very important theme.
I'm not entirely sure as I haven't read it in great detail, but I think there must be some kind of protagonist who is likely a person trying to figure out the situation under the dome and find a way to change or adapt to it.
The ending of 'Under the Dome' is quite intense. The main conflict is resolved in a way that leaves some characters changed forever and the town in a new state.
