I would like to do my English B Extended Essay about Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s short stories The Yellow Wall-Paper (1892) and Old Water (1911), linking to the Literature category in the EE guide.
My guiding question would be “How are women and their role in society portrayed in the stories?” It would include investigating and outlining the language (especially adjectives) the author uses to describe women (and in contrast, men), comparing how different the image painted of a woman is in the two stories, how it evolves, and looking into how the motifs in the stories describe the position of women in the society. As a conclusion I would answer my original question based on my arguments and in-depth analysis.
