TWO PART READING RESPONSE: The Yellow Wallpaper (Charlotte Perkins Gilman)


The Yellow Wallpaper is a very interesting story. Talks about a mentally ill woman and her husband who is a doctor. As a doctor he convinced her that she needs to rest and to stay in the room in order to get well.“ The doctor” don’t listen to her when she said to him that she is feeling better he never heard her, she wanted to change the room because she thought that the room was a place that gives her depression, and make her feel sick. She seems like a woman completely depending on her husband. The things get worse when she start to obsess with the wallpaper. Maybe the wallpaper wants to represent the time or the way  the women’s want to escape for the “control” of the men. Maybe the wallpaper want to represent also the difficult life of a woman, who doesn’t have voice and who can’t control their life’s .He made her believe that she is sick, maybe that’s because he wanted to control her life. He is more like a doctor than her husband to her.
