Response to The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Response to The Yellow c overThe woman behind this behave of literature portrays the role of women in the society during that period of measure. The Yellow paper written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, is a swell written story describing a woman who suffers from insanity and how she struggles to express her own thoughts and feelings. The author uses her own see to it to criticize male domi ground of women during the nineteenth century. Although the story was written l years ago, The Yellow Wallpaper still brings a clear pith how powerless women were during that time. Women were regard as a second class of people. They had incomplete legal right-hand(a) nor respect from their male counterparts. When the fabricators maintain, John, a physician, placed the narrator in the horrid room with yellow wallpaper, and bed-rested, he claimed that he knew what is best(p) for his wife. The narrator had no choice but to obey her husband since her brother, who was a male physician, was con vinced by her husbands theory. So I take phosphates of phosphites-whichever it is-and tonics, and line of products and exercise, and journeys, and am absolutely forbidden to work until I am well again (pg277). Male domination is clearly seen here as the males claimed that their decisiveness was always the right choice. I thought it was a good time to talk, so I told him that I really was not gaining here, and that I wished he would take me away(pg283). The narrator tried to convince her husband to pitch his treatment because she thought that her husbands prescription was not working for her, instead her husband asked her to go to sleep. Her husbands ignorance clearly shows that even the narrator herself had no power over her own health. She just simply said, But ... ...perhaps to show John and Jennie that she was no longer weak standardised she used to be and was now free.In conclusion, the yellow wallpaper is a brilliant work literature of which depicts a woman as a permissive and controlled by her dominant husband. darn women now enjoyed freedom and peace in a liberal nation like America, we must not forget in the impoverish states like Afghanistan or Pakistan, women are still being enclosed behind the debar of the Yellow Wallpaper. They, just like in the past, have no right in their society and have no idea that women can in reality enjoy the kind of freedom like their male counterparts. The Yellow Wallpaper does not only serve as a witness of what has happened in the past, it has also served the purpose of a reminder of what we must be doing in the future to bring freedom and rights to women all over the world.
