yelow wall-paper
“The Yellow Wall-Paper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a story about a woman and her psychological difficulties, in which her husband tries to help her. The story, although very captivating, is very confusing. It’s easy to follow but hard to get a meaning or reasoning about what is going on. The only conclusion that makes sence in my opinion is that the main character goes crazy. This is a strange concept considering that the story is supposed to be somewhat semi-autobiographical. How does one sanely write about their own insanity?First of all, Gilman’s feminist views are apparent through the novel. The whole time the character is being prescribed rest and being told not to do any activities, by her husband and other influential men in her life. She also mentions numerous times about the fact that if a man says something what is a woman to contradict. "Personally, I disagree with [her husband's and brother's] ideas. Personally, I believe that congenial work, with excitement and change, would do me good. But what is one to do?" (Gilman, 160). The woman in the story feels like she is being trapped like a prisoner. Easily, if she wanted to, she could leave but again she feels she has no control ove
