The Yellow Wallpaper Question 1 The narrator is imaginative and a natural storyteller because of the introduction of the book. "And why have stood so long untenanted? is a quote that demonstrates the imaginative character of the narrator. "It is very seldom that mere ordinary people like John and myself secure ancestral halls for the summer" shows that the narrator is a natural storyteller (Gilman, 1). Question 2 John is practical because he restricts her behavior claiming to be part of the treatment procedure. The practical character of John is evident when he refers to facts and figures to fancy. Secondly, John loves as evident by his concern on the treatment procedure of the wife. John believes that a husband must lovingly support the wife in all aspects of life (Gilman, 2). Question 4 John's diagnosis of the narrator's illness is mental illness described as "temporary nervous depression." The treatment offered by John to the narrator is discouraging her from speaking and thinking about the disease and provides the yellow paper cure (Gilman, 4). Question 5 The narrator thinks that the cure offered to her does not help in treating the illness but its based on the power of a man. The narrator writes that she does not feel comfortable in the room with the yellow wallpaper (Gilman, 52). Question 6 The narrator feels that better treatment to her condition could be making her live with other people and removing the yellow paper which is caused agitation. The treatment offered by husband worsens the illness to insanity according to the narrator and Vergona (Gilman, 56). Question 7 The husband's prescribed treatment does not seem to work because the narrator does not recover from the illness; instead, the mental condition worsens. According to Vergona analysis, the narrator becomes insane because of the loneliness and the irritating yellow wallpaper. Question 8 The narrator's description of the room makes one feel that the room does not offer the best healing space. The room is likely to be excluded and not crucial to the family which makes one doubt the loving aspect of John. According to the description, the room does not meet the conditions of a room meant for mental therapy. Question 9 The health condition of the narrator deteriorates as the story progresses because the husband no longer seems to care about her. The narrator becomes frustrated and ends up tearing down the wallpaper because she feels imprisoned. "She sees figures in the wallpaper and begins to think about all of the other women who are imprisoned just as she is" is a direct quote by Vergona to show the deteriorating condition of the narrator. Question 10 The bedposts and the smooches are created by the narrator while going around the room trying to discover herself. The smooches on the wall according to narrator resemble nursery school artworks. The shoulders of the narrator fit on the smooches and her clothes seem to have yellow paints (Gilman, 56). Question 11 The wallpaper symbolizes a screen that the narrator projects their own life and the process of discovery. The colors on the wallpaper represent the problems that happen in the life of the narrator in the process of understanding their potential as a woman. "She had projected her sense of self outwards, and finally takes it back inwards, so to speak" is a quote from the book to describe the representation of the wallpaper. Question 12 The woman in the wallpaper symbolizes the narrator's sanity which she struggles to get for many days. The symbolism is evident when the narrator tears the paper to get the woman which has been her lifetime confinement. Question 13 The narrator sympathizes with the woman on the wallpaper because she is a representation of her repression and submission to seduction. The woman tries to creep into the pattern and the more she stares, the worse her condition becomes. The struggle the woman on the wallpaper resembles the narrator's current situation Question 14 The motivation behind the narrator's decision to reap off the wallpaper from the wall is the hope to find freedom from seduction. The narrator believes that the wallpaper is a form of imprisonment that affects her value as a woman and feels that tearing the paper will open ways to her freedom. The woman of the paper motivates her beyond imagination to diagnose her illness and get the right treatment (Gilman, 65). Question 15 The unnamed female character, the narrator, is a protagonist because of her outstanding role that she plays throughout the story. Most themes are developed within her context as the main character and represent the advocate of the story. The imaginative character of the unnamed female narrator assumed to be Jane makes her the protagonist in the story. Question 16 The narrator's husband John is the antagonist because he does not give the wife freedom to expression because of her gender. John does not listen to narrators complain about the wrong diagnosis. The protagonist struggles against imprisonment by the ale gender represented by John in the story. The struggle is imaginative because of the use of symbols to represent and explain her situation (Gilman, 68). Question 17 The protagonist has made progress in overcoming the struggle at the end of the story. The protagonist tears the wallpaper which brings her discomfort and steps on the antagonist as a sign of conquering. The exaggerated struggle of the narrator at the end of the story to tear the wallpaper and bedposts represents the breakdown of prison bars to her freedom. Question 18 The story reveals that their visual capacity guides conscious plays a significant role in defining a person and naturally humans. The story shows that one requires stability in mind to overcome natural barriers (Gilman, 72). Question 19 The role of men and women in society, especially in marriage, play a significant role in achieving a well-lived life. The story focuses on outlining some challenges faced by women in the struggle to make success in the nineteenth century. References Gilman, Charlotte Perkins. The yellow wallpaper and other writings.

Do you personally believes he cares for her? Your thesis is good but I feel adding specifics such as the struggles referenced would make it less general. < Reply Russell Fox 1 hour ago Latoya, In #16, you have not answered whether the struggle with the antagonist is real or imagined. Your thesis statement (#19) does not identify the author, the type of work, or at least one literary device.
