ESSAY ON: Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper"

Number of Pages 6

This research paper: A 6 page essay that discusses the short story classic. The writer argues that Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" can be understood as offering a multifaceted reflection of Victorian patriarchal, imperialist sensibilities as a whole. The narrative deals with the journal entries of an unnamed female protagonist, a wife and mother who descends slowly into seeming insanity. However, the implied characterization of her husband/physician John suggests a poststructuralist interpretation that pictures the narrator in the position of colonial populations who were dominated by Western Victorian men, such as John. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
