How Does The Yellow Wallpaper Relate To Psychology
In the short story, The Yellow Wallpaper, the narrator has psychological repression since her husband does not listen to her thoughts and insists on the rest cure. The psychologist, Sigmund Freud, theorized three components of mind which really incorporates on the protagonist. I can analyze the narrator in two stages: when she is conscious at the beginning, she thinks she cannot persuade her husband that "congenial work, with excitement and change, would do [her] good", so she writes hopelessly "But what is one to do?" and obeys her husband unwillingly; when she is unconscious, the narrator imagines that there is a forbidden woman in the yellow wallpaper, then she tears the wallpaper insanely and escapes the maison with the imaginary woman.
