The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman - The View from the Inside :: Yellow Wallpaper essays
The Yellow paper  The View from the Inside The Yellow Wallpaper, written by Charlotte Perkins Gil gay, is a storey of a woman, her psychological difficulties and her hubbys so called therapeutic treatment of her aliments during the late 1800s. The spirit level begins with a young woman and her husband traveling to the country for the summer and for the heal powers of being away from writing which just seems to worsen her condition. Upon reading this desirous description of an almost prison like prescription for overcoming temporary nervous effect the reader is permeated with the idea the men are nothing more than the wardens in the lives of women. Gilman, does well throughout the story to show with descriptive phrases just how easily and effectively, the man seemingly wields his maleness to control the woman. But, with further interpretation and insight I believe Gilman succeeds in nothing more than showing the weakness of women, of the day, as active persons in their ow n as well as societys decision making processes instead of the strong suit of men as women dominating machines. From the beginning of the story forward the narrator speaks of how her husband and other influential men in her life direct her so that she will recover quickly and I believe this to be the initial manse that the feminist perspective will be presented throughout. The narrator shows how although she has a organise opinion (and probably successful idea for her treatment), she is still swayed by her husbands direction with the avocation passage, I sometimes fancy that in my condition if I had little opposition and more society and stimulus-- further John says the very worst thing I can do is to think about my condition, and I confess it continuously makes me feel bad. Her husband seems to be the one who can change her thoughts because of his maleness or the incident that he is her husband. Nonetheless, she is still being suppressed by a part of the opposing stir. W ith a further look into this passage though, I believe that this once more is nothing more than a sign of the inablities of the narrator. I dont believe her sex to be the cause of her suppression it is her lack of understanding of not only herself, but of how to successfully make others aware of what is best for herself. The narrator also speaks many times in a manner which suggests that because a man speaks she has no government agency by which to disagree with him because she is a woman, yet another feminist tact.The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman - The View from the Inside Yellow Wallpaper essays The Yellow Wallpaper  The View from the Inside The Yellow Wallpaper, written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, is a story of a woman, her psychological difficulties and her husbands so called therapeutic treatment of her aliments during the late 1800s.
