Female Marital Submission in The Yellow Wallpaper :: Charlotte Perkins

Female Marital Submission in The Yellow w whole writing by Charlotte Perkins The Yellow Wallpaper explains a womans life in that time period, especially that of the narrator, who is living a life of a typical housewife of that time, hardly who is not able to lot with the oppression. Seems like the narrator fails to see her imprisoned state till towards the end of her theme. The main character or the narrator is married to a doctor who is a typical male of those times. Also she has a brother who is in a similar profession as her husband. The narrator knows that she is not too well and that derriere - her husband does not realize the intensity of her sickness, he ignores her continuous efforts to make him aware of the real situation and her suffering. To make the situation worse he imposes his opinions on her even when it comes to her health. This story shows us the life and the thoughts of the narrator which lead her to be free, but go out of her mind in the sense of the real wor ld. This story is written as if the narrator is writing it. The narrator is sick and her husband has made her a study project, She is continuously watched and thus she has no privacy. The critic of this paper Beth Snyder points out a similar view Hons condemnation of both the narrators imaginative vagaries and her writing impels his wife to write in secret and to seek a variety of obscurity in the bedroom, because no one must find her writing. Writing, then, becomes its own means for establishing inferiority. But because so much of the story relies on looking and be looked at, both obscurity and secrecy are problemised for Gilmans narrator. Hidden, she cannot hide, and is always illuminated for her spectator-husband when the sun shoots in through the east window or when the moon shines in all night when there is a moon. Snyder in her paper, also mention another view, It is essential for the narrator to believe that she is writing on dead paper, but she writes for an audience regar dless of the papers lifelines and brings another consciousness into the bedroom (the introduction of the audience seems to defy the deadness of the paper). The narrator is extremely lonely, not in a carnal sense, but in a emotional sense.
