Theme Of Feminism In The Yellow Wallpaper
“Feminism is no longer a term that’s used to enable or empower women” by Hill Clinton. The story is told by the narrator’s perspective, who is a woman of sensitive temper, and she is also a writer. She has been ill, and her illness has placed her in a weak position in relation to dominant John. As her husband and as her physician, John makes all of the narrator’s decisions for her, which really aggravates her, since she wants to be an individual. In the beginning, the narrator dreadfully wanted to please her husband and undertake her role as an ideal mother and wife, but she is unable to balance her husband’s need with her desire to express her creativity. However as the story progresses, the narrators desire changes after seeing the wallpaper. She forgets about becoming an ideal mother and a wife. When she lost her outer reality, she gained her inner reality, where she kept on trying to figure out the pattern that was hidden in the wallpaper.
