Revision with Writing Center(fixed sentence structures) In the story the Yellow Wall Paper, the narrator is making a statement which is saying that if you are locked up in a house or "prison" you are not being allowed to be put to your full potential with society. She is using the narrator's point of view to show how mental issues start to occur when you are confined to one place and have no actual view of the outside world. That statement also includes the effects of your mind when you can only think to yourself and imagine. The main character's mind starts to go insane when thinking too much into things. Throughout the story the main character looks into every little detail of the room and analyzes it. This is the effect of having too much time on her hands and not having anything better to do.

The story is about a woman who's husband sent her away to this house to get mentally better and starts to see this wallpaper. She has very strict rules such as not being able to read or write so she starts looking at this wallpaper. While she's looking at this wallpaper she starts to interpret it in many different ways throughout the story. She's irked by the bright yellow outline that is has, which then turns into her seeing heads being hanged. As the story goes on her views of the room get even worse and it doesn't help that her husband John is treating her like a little girl. Her husband has a wrong view of what is going on in her head. She gets annoyed by the fact that she can't even talk to him about the situation she's in. The story goes on to her doing many irrational behaviors in the room and her anxiety gets worse and worse while getting fed up with everything little thing she notices in the room and about the wallpaper. She is also also a Mother that isn't aloud to be near her baby which adds to her anxiety.

    The “The Yellow Wallpaper” story started off with a small family that moved into a new summer home to spend some time away. The narrator’s husband is her own physician, and he tells her that she needs rest away from people to recover from her mental illness. The main character’s favorite hobby is to write thoughts and ideas down on paper. She is also a mother, but she doesn’t mention her child that often due to the fact that she wasn’t able to take care of her baby. The narrator is a young woman, sometimes referred to as “Jane” who is suffering from severe mental illness; not being able to have freedom caused the narrator's health to fall into a worse pattern.…

    Throughout "The Yellow Wall-Paper," Charlotte Gilman uses various symbols to show the oppression of women by men, and the continuing struggle to escape that oppression. The three main symbols that run throughout the story lend the most support to this. The yellow wall-paper is an indication of the mental restrictions that were placed upon women by men during the 1800s. As yellow is oft considered the color of sickness or weakness, the sickness that the writer suffers from is the continuing oppression and struggle that continues to this very day by women. Gilman shows that the possibilities of women are as vast as those of man, and that during the 19th century those possibilities were severely restricted. This is shown through the descriptions of the two windows and the view from each. The writer sees other doing acts she could do herself, just as women saw acts of man that they could do with the same level of competency. Entirely, "The Yellow Wall-Paper" is a statement of the oppression of the female sex by mankind.On page 835 the description of the two windows and the view from them by the writer is a representation of the possibilities of the female sex, and how those possibilities were limited and restricted by men during the 19th and into the 20th century. The first view is described as "I can see the garden, those mysterious deep-shaded arbor, the riotous old-fashioned flowers, and bushes and gnarly trees." The "garden" is a clear symbol of the earth, or society, and the use of "mysterious" shows that the possibilities that women have are undiscovered to them. In the next view the writer describes seeing a "lovely view of the bay" and a "private wharf belonging to the estate." The bay is a reference to the uncharted territory of womankind's abilities and the private estate is clearly indicating the sections of society forbidden to women. The description of seeing "people walking in the numerous paths and arbors" is the idea of women seeing the acts of men, and…

    Throughout the story of “The Yellow Wallpaper” her husband John treats the protagonist with a lot of authority and demand. “John says if I don 't pick up faster he shall send me to Weir Mitchell in the fall… But John says the very worst thing I can do is to think about my condition, and I confess it always makes me feel bad. (Gilman, 86-90.). And this overwhelming treatment carried the poor woman to a deep insanity, making her hallucinate about the paper design of her room. “It is the strangest yellow, that wall-paper! It makes me think of all the yellow things I ever saw—not beautiful ones like buttercups, but old foul, bad yellow things…Through watching so much at night, when it changes so, I have finally found out. The front pattern does move—and no wonder! The woman behind shakes it! Sometimes I think there are a great many women behind, and sometimes only one, and she crawls around fast, and her crawling shakes it all over.” (Gilman, 95, 96.). The husband’s controlling attitude and low ignorance against her destroyed this woman mental stability. At the same time in “The Story of An Hour,” Mrs. Mallard thought that the death of Mr. Mallard would be the opportunity for her to get out from an oppressed marriage that didn’t let her live the life that she ever dreamed. For the first time in her life, she could visualize herself without the control and pressure that her marriage gave her. “There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully… But she saw beyond that bitter moment a long procession of years to come that would belong to her absolutely. And she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome.” (Chopin, 66-67.). In these two stories we can see the great desire of these women to be treated with respect; a sense of dignity for what they are, something that would make them feel like their voice counted rather than having a meaning to their life because of who they’re married…

    In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” a woman named Jane narrates the story of her summer stay in a mansion. When Jane complains of a mental condition, her husband John confines her to her room to cure what he calls a temporary nervous depression (Gilman). In response to this, Jane says, “If a physician of high standing, and one’s own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one…What is one to do?” (Gilman). Even though Jane personally disagrees with John’s diagnosis, she still complies with his treatment plan because she is dependent on her husband. During her stay, Jane becomes obsessed with a mysterious woman-figure in the yellow wallpaper of her room. Jane eventually rips the wallpaper off of the wall, and at the end of the story, the author reveals that the woman in the wall has taken over Jane’s body. At the very end of the story, Jane says, “I’ve got out at last…in spite of you and Jane…And I’ve pulled off most of the paper, so you can’t put me back!” (Gilman). In this story, the yellow wallpaper is a metaphor for the cage that society places on Jane. The cage is essentially John, her own husband. John was the one who didn’t recognize Jane’s mental condition as legitimate, and John was the one who gave Jane a horrible treatment plan. Because Jane thoroughly depended on John, she allowed him to place…

    When I read the passage the Yellow Wallpaper this quote stood out to me as being one of the main quotes: “ If a physician of high standing, and one’s own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression—a slight hysterical tendency—what is one to do? So I take phosphates or phosphites—whichever it is, and tonics, and journeys, and air, and exercise, and am absolutely forbidden to “work” until I am well again. Personally, I disagree with their ideas.”…

    The narrator describes her illness and her husband’s take on her treatment. Her thoughts give detailed insight into her mind as the narrator enters the state of a psychotic breakdown. The narrator’s thoughts describe her reasoning for not getting well faster. “John is a physician, and perhaps-(I would not say it to a living soul, of course, but this is dead paper and a great relief to my mind) –perhaps that is one reason I do not get well faster.”(224) The narrator expresses her concerns on paper and wonders if this has any effect on her wellbeing. John has confined her to a room in which she initially dislikes the yellow wallpaper. “I’m really getting quite fond of the big room, all but that horrid paper.”(226) The narrator’s initial thoughts on the yellow wallpaper are that it is horrid. She is confined in a room, picked by her husband, and for some reason she is unable to figure out the pattern to the yellow wallpaper. “It makes me think of all the yellow things I ever saw-not beautiful ones like buttercups, but old foul, bad yellow things”.(226) She continues to look into the pattern, without actually figuring it out. The narrator is becoming used to the yellow wallpaper and its qualities. She smells the wallpaper everywhere in the house and even so, when she is out of the house. Unbeknownst to her, the smell of the wallpaper begins to creep around her the more…

    While reading the short story, I came across a paragraph that gave me a clue of what the yellow wallpaper meant to her. She talks about how she discovers new findings by the day and therefore it gives her comfort. I think when she finally discovered what it was about the yellow wallpaper that drew her in, she made it her mission to rip it down. As she rips down the wallpaper it could relate to the fact that she has to tear herself apart to be free. She then questions herself, “… if they all [came] out of that wall-paper as [she] did?” (237). It is strange that she finds such frustration and relief from it. This resembles her, herself because she too is trapped into that home, within that room, and not being able to write. She mentions that there are many faces in the wallpaper, which tells me that these faces are women who are in the same position as her. She also says that “there are so many of those creeping women, and they creep so fast” (237). This line describes her situation because she too is creeping on others as she is kept inside. I think the theme in this short story is about how women are not allowed to do certain things and how men are dominant. She wants to be a writer but her husband does not allow that due to her mental illness. Although the narrator has a mental illness, believes that inanimate objects come to life, and that she was trapped in the yellow wallpaper; She makes a point of how women live by men’s rules and how they are limited to the amount of things they are able to do.…

    Yellow Wallpaper Madness

    The wallpaper plays an immense role in developing the mental illness of the narrator. From the moment the narrator enters the “nursery” she is completely appalled by the yellow wallpaper that is before her. Stating, “I never saw worse paper in my life. One of those sprawling flamboyant patterns committing every artistic sin” (34). The narrator thinks the wonderful room is awful, especially the unpleasant yellow wallpaper. As John continues to not be of any encouragement the narrator takes it upon herself to make sense of the wallpaper. The narrator becomes obsessive over the wallpaper, watching it throughout the day and night. Even getting defensive and jealous over the interactions of others with the wallpaper. The narrator states, “I know she [Jennie] was studying that pattern, and I am determined that nobody shall find it out but myself” (166). The narrator sees the wallpaper and what is behind it as only hers, it is something she is not willing to share with others. As she continues to be mesmerized by the wallpaper it becomes more clear to her and she starts to see a formless figure from behind the main pattern. A desperate woman emerges to be trapped within the wallpaper, constantly crawling to look for an escape from what resembles the bars of a cage. “The discoveration of the woman promises a moment of liberation for the narrator; she has found a symbolic representation of her own condition” (Kasmer). The lady stuck within the wallpaper represents herself and the freedom she wants. Gilman uses the woman within the wall as a doppelganger to the narrator. Being that they are in same like situations, both struggling with the imprisonment of the domestic world they should not overstep. Both unable to escape without being strangled by the bars of social norms and expectations society holds over them. In the narrators mind she has to hide how she feels, so she plays herself out through the…

    The Yellow Wallpaper

    “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman takes the form of journal entries of a woman undergoing treatment for postpartum depression. Her form of treatment is the “resting cure,” in which a person is isolated and put on bed rest. Her only social interaction is with her sister-in-law Jennie and her husband, John, who is also her doctor. Besides small interactions with them, most of the time she is left alone. Society believes all she needs is a break from the stresses of everyday life, while she believes that “society and stimulus” (pg 347, paragraph 16) will make her better. When she voices her opinion to her husband he tells her to not think about it - to trust him because he is a doctor and knows what is best. She then redirects her energy towards the yellow wallpaper design in her bedroom, spending her days crawling on the floor in circles trying to figure it out. The story reveals that the social factors of the time, a woman’s place and views on mental illness, goes against what is actually good for her and eventually leads to her condition to worsen. If she was able to do what she thought was best she would have gotten better. Her role as a woman, as a mental patient, and inability to express her feelings are what leads to her complete loss of sanity.…

    The narrator was a woman who experienced these difficulties. Living in a house with her husband, John, she was confined to a spacious, sunlit room that contained hideous yellow wallpaper that she despised. Against her better judgment she was not permitted to write, draw, or work, but simply rest. Soon the wallpaper she detested became her only stimulus. She examined it by day and night, and began to see patterns develop and figures form. The vague figures took the shape of a woman trapped behind bars, constantly searching for a way out. The narrator sympathized with the enslaved woman, and began to contemplate ways to save her. The narrator becomes paranoid around her husband and the babysitter who she thinks are also trying to unmask the wallpapers true meaning.
