    When discussing gender roles or feminism in literary works, several would tend to gravitate to the idea of gender focusing solely on the plight of women. However, feminism and the restrictive power of gender roles heavily affect men as well. The dynamic of people believing sexism to only influence women is intriguingly played out in Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s short story “The Yellow Wallpaper.” Many of the analyses I’ve read explain how Gilman’s story shows societal pressures affecting women during that time and how they still have an impact on us today. While this popular theory is evident to be true, even by Gilman’s own admission, I would challenge this idea and push to say that while, yes, “The Yellow Wallpaper” does enlighten us to the…

    Consequently, John asserts himself as the leader of the relationship, and treats Jane as though she were a child. For this reason, Jane states repeatedly that she feels trapped, this because “if a physician of high standing, and one’s own husband, assures friends and realities that there is nothing the matter… what is one to do” (Gilman 76). Jane is constantly asking, “what can one do?” (Gilman 76) this demonstrates how perplexed Jane gets, to the point where she is pushed to her breaking point. Accordingly, Jane has no way to express her emotions and thoughts, since there is no one who will believe her.…

    In the book Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, John, also known as Mr. Savage, has an encounter that is so influential on him he is never quite the same. This experience severely distances him from what he has known his entire life. Thus, by fracturing his worldview, messing with his idea of right and wrong, and exposing him to an irreconcilable philosophy, the experience reflects one of the main themes of the book, exile. Before leaving his reservation, John had always viewed the civilized world as a “wonder” (page 139). When given the offer to see it, “his eyes shone”, “his face was brightly flushed”, and he laughed for “pure joy” (all page 139).…

    Layers of Fiction Symbolism is represented by levels of pragmatic and figurative meaning. As an example, in “The Yellow Wallpaper,” Gilman incorporates the very wallpaper to represent this idea. The wallpaper displays more than just symbolism; it also shows the time period and theme of the story. These elements of fiction are also supported by the first person narration in helping the reader understand and analyze the text. This combination helps to show the relationships of the protagonist, overall setting, and theme of the story.…

    Her father was overprotective and thought that there was no man good enough to marry his daughter, for example, “None of the young men were quite good enough for Miss Emily and such.” On the other hand, the narrator in The Yellow Wallpaper would suffer the same treatment of control by her husband. After the birth of their child, Jane, her husband, and sister-in-law would spend the summer in a rented Victorian mansion. Suffering from postpartum depression, her husband who’s a doctor, refuses to acknowledge her mental condition, doesn’t believe that she is sick, then she’s forced by her husband to get some “rest” as a form of treatment. Jane states in the text, “John is a physician, and perhaps-(I would not say it to a living soul, of course, but this is dead paper and a great relief to my mind)-perhaps that is one reason I do not get well faster.…

New mothers have up to a 20 percent chance that they may experience postpartum depression within months following the birth of their child. Unless properly treated, the symptoms can worsen over time. In Jane’s journal entries, her rapid progression into insanity is very visible as she goes from seeing an unpleasant yellow wallpaper to finding that there is a woman trapped inside it. Gilman carefully illustrates the huge impact of Jane’s husband based on the lack of control, patronization and confinement she undertakes at his will.…

    This doubt is one of the first steps that brings her pain fourth and allows it to manifest itself. Her husband, being a doctor, is respected and trusted; therefore, what he says carries more weight in a social context than what she says. John’s inability to see passed his medical training and the accepted notions about mental health of his time prevent him from being able to see his wife as a person, rather than a patient. John treats his wife to the best of his ability as a doctor and to him, he is doing the right thing by prescribing the rest cure; unintentionally he is subjecting his wife to depression, loneliness, and above all else,…

    The narrator is sick, yet John, “a physician” believes she is exaggerating the severity of her illness (“The Yellow Wall-Paper” 489). John’s recommendation of treatment for his wife is to “not work” (“The Yellow Wall-Paper” 489).

    In late May of 2016, I was referred to as one of several “costumed character” in grammatically troubled, but overall positive TripAdvisor review. My supervisor John King was visibly angry, not at me (this time), but at the visitor. “These aren’t costumes. This isn’t Disneyland.” For three months, I wore period clothing (this was John King’s preferred term and one does not fail to use John King’s term).…

    John Flanagan: The Search for Identity John Flanagan’s characters are defined by their experiences and the people they grow up around. In Flanagan’s series, the characters he creates are nearly always portrayed as a young adult, which displays the development of his characters in the best light. This is why Ranger’s Apprentice features four separate books that all feature the development and coming of age for different characters: young Will and Horace become apprenticed in The Ruins of Gorlan, Will becomes an adult Ranger in his own right in The Sorcerer of the North and Erak’s Ransom, and young Maddie grows beyond her royal status and learns how to fend for herself in The Royal Ranger. Flanagan’s books are characterized by young characters…
