ESSAY ON: Ibsen & Gilman/Women's Place in Society

Number of Pages 7

This research paper: A 7 page essay that contrasts and compares the narratives of Henrik Ibsen's play A Doll's House and Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper." The writer argues that these works portray the subjugated position of women under nineteenth century patriarchy, and that a close reading of these works reveals not only that the female protagonist in each work feels compelled to rebel against the social restrictions that circumscribe their lives, but that the patriarchal framework of society serves, in general, to keep husbands and wives alienated from one another, preventing the true intimacy that is the bedrock of a successful marriage. No additional sources cited.
