The Symbolism Of John In 'The Yellow Wallpaper'

Improved Essays
A toxic love, a love so wonderful it’s twistedly deadly. Everyone’s had one before, but this love, it’s special. It involves insanity and deep affection.
Topic Sentence: The wallpaper symbolizes her relationship with John. The color of the wallpaper lures her and reminds her the sweet side of him. Then once she’s in the wallpaper (marriage) he cages her (locks her up, prohibited to write) and she’s trying to escape.

In the first place, if you’ve ever read the short story, “the Yellow Wallpaper” you would understand how confusing it is. But the thing is, what does it mean? What does this short story symbolize? Could it mean her relationship with John? It would make more sense about it. Let’s take an example from the story: “One of those sprawling flamboyant patterns

But what happened after they married? There’s a part in the story that could probably have a totally different meaning, it said “It’s dull enough to confuse the eye in following, pronounced enough to constantly irritate and provoke study” What does this mean? Is it meant to express how she feels towards John? In the previous paragraph I talked about how vigorous he was, now, what if this specific little sentence actually meant how John suddenly transformed after marriage? She could actually be explaining how he irritates her whenever he’s with her because he is caging her. Or that maybe that he got boring, dull. I mean, he’s basically trapping her by making her stay in one room, not going out, not letting write, and not letting her do anything around the house. Why though? The only thing he’s doing is making it worst, he’s making her feel useless, as if she is just a waste of space. She feels less of a woman, she can’t do the things other woman did during this time period. She had Jane to do everything and serve her whenever she needed something, she probably felt jealousy towards Jane at some point of the

    Women have been for a long time, and are still today, considered to be inferior to men. Since the first official feminist movement in the 1960s, women’s conditions have gradually gotten much better. However, when the short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” was published in 1892, women were most often seen only as their husband’s wife and nothing more. Still, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, the author of that same story, decided to do something bold: through her use of irony, through her allusions to prisons when describing the house, and through her use of the yellow wallpaper as a symbol, she is openly criticizing the oppression of women.…
