Revision with Writing Center(fixed sentence structures) In the story the Yellow Wall Paper, the narrator is making a statement which is saying that if you are locked up in a house or "prison" you are not being allowed to be put to your full potential with society. She is using the narrator's point of view to show how mental issues start to occur when you are confined to one place and have no actual view of the outside world. That statement also includes the effects of your mind when you can only think to yourself and imagine. The main character's mind starts to go insane when thinking too much into things. Throughout the story the main character looks into every little detail of the room and analyzes it. This is the effect of having too much time on her hands and not having anything better to do.

The story is about a woman who's husband sent her away to this house to get mentally better and starts to see this wallpaper. She has very strict rules such as not being able to read or write so she starts looking at this wallpaper. While she's looking at this wallpaper she starts to interpret it in many different ways throughout the story. She's irked by the bright yellow outline that is has, which then turns into her seeing heads being hanged. As the story goes on her views of the room get even worse and it doesn't help that her husband John is treating her like a little girl. Her husband has a wrong view of what is going on in her head. She gets annoyed by the fact that she can't even talk to him about the situation she's in. The story goes on to her doing many irrational behaviors in the room and her anxiety gets worse and worse while getting fed up with everything little thing she notices in the room and about the wallpaper. She is also also a Mother that isn't aloud to be near her baby which adds to her anxiety. Charlotte Perkins Gilman shows a first person point of view with the narrator about how she is feeling "So I take phosphate or phosphites-

    The narrator was a woman who experienced these difficulties. Living in a house with her husband, John, she was confined to a spacious, sunlit room that contained hideous yellow wallpaper that she despised. Against her better judgment she was not permitted to write, draw, or work, but simply rest. Soon the wallpaper she detested became her only stimulus. She examined it by day and night, and began to see patterns develop and figures form. The vague figures took the shape of a woman trapped behind bars, constantly searching for a way out. The narrator sympathized with the enslaved woman, and began to contemplate ways to save her. The narrator becomes paranoid around her husband and the babysitter who she thinks are also trying to unmask the wallpapers true meaning. Finally the narrator becomes frantic and is reduced to a state of disillusion. The author draws the story to an end, with the narrator tearing down the wallpaper and exclaiming that she finally released the woman behind it.…

    Throughout the story of “The Yellow Wallpaper” her husband John treats the protagonist with a lot of authority and demand. “John says if I don 't pick up faster he shall send me to Weir Mitchell in the fall… But John says the very worst thing I can do is to think about my condition, and I confess it always makes me feel bad. (Gilman, 86-90.). And this overwhelming treatment carried the poor woman to a deep insanity, making her hallucinate about the paper design of her room. “It is the strangest yellow, that wall-paper! It makes me think of all the yellow things I ever saw—not beautiful ones like buttercups, but old foul, bad yellow things…Through watching so much at night, when it changes so, I have finally found out. The front pattern does move—and no wonder! The woman behind shakes it! Sometimes I think there are a great many women behind, and sometimes only one, and she crawls around fast, and her crawling shakes it all over.” (Gilman, 95, 96.). The husband’s controlling attitude and low ignorance against her destroyed this woman mental stability. At the same time in “The Story of An Hour,” Mrs. Mallard thought that the death of Mr. Mallard would be the opportunity for her to get out from an oppressed marriage that didn’t let her live the life that she ever dreamed. For the first time in her life, she could visualize herself without the control and pressure that her marriage gave her. “There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully… But she saw beyond that bitter moment a long procession of years to come that would belong to her absolutely. And she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome.” (Chopin, 66-67.). In these two stories we can see the great desire of these women to be treated with respect; a sense of dignity for what they are, something that would make them feel like their voice counted rather than having a meaning to their life because of who they’re married…

    "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a story about a woman who has been diagnosed by her husband as having a "temporary nervous depression" (Gilman, 589). Her husband John rents a house for the Summer, believing that the change in environment will secure her recovery. Yet he persists in treating her illness with isolation-- socially, intellectually and physically. She is not permitted to write or venture outside the house and has very limited social contact. John believes that too much "stimulation" will only worsen her condition. However, his treatment quickly turns sour: detached from everything she holds dear, she finds herself spending the majority of her time in the upstairs bedroom where she becomes obsessed with her surrounding environment-- most specifically, the wallpaper. She writes about it frequently, describing it with terms such as "repellent, almost revolting" and "horrid" and giving painfully detailed descriptions of its intricate patterns (Gilman, 591, 593). Realizing that she is slowly losing her mind, she makes a plea to her husband to release her from treatment. In the end she loses her sanity: she convinces herself that she has become the woman "trapped" inside the wallpaper.…

    In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” a woman named Jane narrates the story of her summer stay in a mansion. When Jane complains of a mental condition, her husband John confines her to her room to cure what he calls a temporary nervous depression (Gilman). In response to this, Jane says, “If a physician of high standing, and one’s own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one…What is one to do?” (Gilman). Even though Jane personally disagrees with John’s diagnosis, she still complies with his treatment plan because she is dependent on her husband. During her stay, Jane becomes obsessed with a mysterious woman-figure in the yellow wallpaper of her room. Jane eventually rips the wallpaper off of the wall, and at the end of the story, the author reveals that the woman in the wall has taken over Jane’s body. At the very end of the story, Jane says, “I’ve got out at last…in spite of you and Jane…And I’ve pulled off most of the paper, so you can’t put me back!” (Gilman). In this story, the yellow wallpaper is a metaphor for the cage that society places on Jane. The cage is essentially John, her own husband. John was the one who didn’t recognize Jane’s mental condition as legitimate, and John was the one who gave Jane a horrible treatment plan. Because Jane thoroughly depended on John, she allowed him to place…

    In “The Yellow Wallpaper”, the narrator begins her journal by admiring the odd splendor of the house her husband has rented for their summer vacation. She states that she is suffering from nervous depression and then complains that her husband John, who is a doctor, belittles her illness as well as her thoughts and concerns in general. She compares his practical and realistic manner with her own imaginative and sensitive ways. She states, “John laughs at me, of course, but one expects that. John is practical and extreme… You see he does not believe I am sick” (Gilman, 673). Her husband demands that her treatment require almost nothing active and she is especially forbidden from working and writing. Contrary to his beliefs, she feels that activity, freedom and work would help her condition. She claims that her secret journalism is used as a way to relieve her mind. She begins describing the house and is particularly disturbed by the yellow wallpaper in the bedroom that possesses a strange, formless pattern. Being that John is often absent from the house, she longs for more stimulating company and activity. She describes…

In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s character Jane struggles with overcoming insanity when she is confined in an asylum with yellow wallpaper. Jane faces her illness head on by releasing the woman in the wallpaper, and she escapes from her mental prison by doing so.
