The Yellow Wall Paper :: Literary Analysis, Gilman, Abcarian, Klotz

The Yellow W tout ensemble PaperThe Yellow Wall Paper is the bill about a journey of a charr who is suffering from a nervous breakdown, descending into fury through her breathe cure treatment. Basically, the muliebrity is not allowed to read, write or to leave her new-born baby. Charlotte Perkins Gilman captures the essence of this journey into madness by using the first person narration. The story plots is by taking the ratifier through the horrors of one charwomans neurosis to make strong statements about the oppression faced by women in their marriage roles. The narrators mental condition is characterized by her meeting with the wallpaper in her room. In addition to the storys plot, the use of symbolism and banter throughout her story also figure how males dominate during her time.From Literature The Human Experience written by Abcarian and Klotz, banter is figurative language in which the intended nub differs from the literal meaning (1615). There is more than one lev el of irony at become in this story. Dramatic irony occurs when a reader or audition know things a character does not and, consequently, sees things differently (Abcarian & Klotz 1615). Gilman uses dramatic irony when the narrator states, Im feeling so much fall apart (Gilman 1005) as if the narrator believe that she is normal, but when she states I think that woman gets out in the daytime And Ill tell you why-privately- Ive seen her (Gilman 1006), the reader knows that she is actually going in sane. It is dramatic irony because the readers understanding of the narrators speeches is different markedly from the narrators. by means of this dramatic irony, Gilman has let the reader knows how complete seclusion can lone(prenominal) add to the desolation and push people to the verge of insanity. The order of rest cure treatment may symbolize her husbands make out towards her, but ironically it makes her condition worse. This plot symbolizes how women were oppressed and dominated by their husbands and they had no place for self expression.When the narrator states, I can see her out of my windows I see her in that long shaded lane, creeping up and down. I see her in those dark grape arbors, creeping all around the garden (Gilman 1006). The reader knows there is no actual woman trapped behind the wallpaper in fact this is a hallucination that seems to be caused by forced isolation as part of her treatment.
