    Character Analysis Yellow Wallpaper

    Many people deal with post-traumatic depression and it can have a huge impact on one’s life. In the short story by Charlotte Perkins Gillman, “The Yellow Wallpaper”, the main character, as well as the narrator, is an unnamed woman dealing with post-traumatic depression. The exceptionally imaginative protagonist’s metamorphosis is due to her isolated confinement in a room with “yellow wallpaper” in order for her to recover from depression. This type of treatment is prescribed by her physician and husband, John, whose controlling personality demands the main character to get bed rest in a secluded room and forbid her to participate in any creative activity that would exercise the mind, which affects her ability to express any thoughts through her enjoyment in writing. At one time, the narrator’s exquisite imagination might have found a productive escape through her sporadic writing, but forced to repress her thoughts instead leads to her growth in madness. The narrator from “The Yellow Wallpaper” is an example of a dynamic character by the change of her mental condition from her oppressed life, the yellow wallpaper, and search for freedom.…

In the novel Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys this nature of evil is evident through the characters of Komorov, the NKVD officers, and Ivanov. Within the novel, at various moments, each character displays the human capacity for evil through their treatment of the prisoners. For Komorov, this is highlighted when he brutally murders a grieving mother. Furthermore, he traumatizes several prisoners by nearly burying them alive. For the NKVD, this evil is shown right…
