The other reason "The Yellow Wallpaper" is considered a feminist piece of literature is because of the ending. The narrator in the story is going nutty since she can’t do the normal things that she likes to do and is starting to imagine things in the wallpaper like a lady creeping behind it. She has already started imagining a lot of things in the wallpaper that probably

The narrator is telling the story in her perspective. She is describing exactly what she is going through with her marriage and she is also explaining exactly how she feels. The narrator of this story is a young woman who is suffering from anxiety and depression after giving birth to her child.

The Narrator also says things that are just about impossible. In the beginning of the story‚ he says‚ “I heard all things in heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in Hell.” (542). He is saying that he can hear things that know one could ever hear in their lifetime. He is being very dishonest‚ because practically everyone knows this is not true. Another example is when he says‚ “The ringing became more distinct-it continued and became more distinct…” (546). The ringing he is referring to is

point of view affects his reader’s understanding to all of the above in several ways. Márquez chooses a first-person narrator that is trying to present information about Santiago Nasar’s death in a journalistic way‚ but the narrator belongs to the same community. This makes the reader question the truth in regards to who in the novel is telling the truth and also is the narrator himself reporting the truth.

I think the 1st person narrator was very important in telling this story. I do not feel that Jackson was an unreliable narrator because he seemed to tell it like it is. He had no reason to try to make himself look better. He seems to accept himself for who he is. He is an honest man who seems to be well liked by everybody he

especially when she begins to drown in her depression and lose her grasp over reality. In one moment‚ the narrator cries‚ “The only thing I can think of that it is like is the color of the paper (9)!” Here‚ from my point of view‚ the yellow wallpaper begins to consume the narrator and she begins to develop an unhealthy obsession with it.

Analyzing The Tell Tale Heart Is a man too calm to be insane? The man in "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe seems to think so. He is a classic example of Poe ’s unreliable narrator‚ a man who cannot be trusted to tell the objective truth of what is happening. His unreliability becomes immediately evident in the first paragraph of the story‚ when he insists on his clarity of mind and attributes any signs of madness to his nervousness and oversensitivity‚ particularly in the area of hearing
