The yellow wall-paper. Assignment 3
The
Yellow Wallpaper" written by Charlotte Perkins Stetson, is a well written
story describing a woman who suffers from insanity and how she struggles to
express her own thoughts and feelings. The author uses her own experience to
criticize male domination of women during the nineteenth century. "The Yellow Wallpaper" still brings
a clear message how powerless women were during that time.In this story I see that
the male dominace is an usually thing . Her husband named John is an physician and he think that
keeping his wife isolated in the garish
yellow wallpaper room will help her get
over her “nervous depression". He believed that keeping his wife in one room isolated from the outside world ,she will feel more better and her health will be improved. John treat her as an object an tell her what is right and what is wrong. One moment when she was looking the moonlight ,he tell her that everything that she felt was an illusion and he shut the window. I think that her husband think only for himself,only for his feelings and not for wife feelings. He sees her as a woman who can stay at home and to obey whatever he say and treating her like own toy. The only think that she can do is writing her thoughts in diary because no one can judge her for what she feel or thing about. The symbol of this story is the Yellow wallpaper which symbolised that ,yellow
is often associated with sickness or weakness. But in the end she begins to like the yellow wallpaper and she now believes herself to be free because she is not trapped behind the wallpaper. Now she think that in this paper are things that nobody knows about ,only me
