Abstract:

Even though Charlotte Perkins Gilman's story ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ (1892) has received a lot of critical attention, there have been only a few attempts at the visual analysis of the wallpaper. This article approaches it as a case of the intricate pattern – an optically unpleasant and complicated ornament that can be depicted. This motif is present in gothic narratives (Poe's ‘Ligeia’, 1838), films (Robert Wise's The Haunting, 1963) as well as outside the genre. With a connection to wallpapers, it was discussed publicly during Gilman's time. This article reconstructs this discussion with examples from the contemporary interior decoration manuals, guidebooks for nursing and medical literature. The aim is to contextualize Gilman's story and to analyse the ways in which her descriptions of the wallpaper are similar to the rhetoric of the guidebooks. This context can enrich our knowledge about the period, reception of the story and possibly even about Gilman's sources of inspiration.

Abstract:

The article discusses the narrative strategies employed by American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman which aimed at subverting literary conventions that could have prevented her from representing a woman’s inner struggles. The article also aims at discussing how such subversion may be related not only to the literary realm but also to the social restraints with which women were forced to deal during the second half of the nineteenth century in The United States of America.

Abstract:

This study attempts to put Charlotte Perkins Gilman‘s The yellow wallpaper in the context of contemporary theory of Sandra M. Gilbert and Susan Gubar’s psycho-feminist scholarship The Madwoman in the Attic: The Women Writers and the Nineteenth-Century Literary Imagination (2000). The two critics focus on the image of the imprisoned mad women in the attic like Bertha Mason, the mentally ill wife of Mr. Edward Rochester, in Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre (1847). The image of the sick woman forced into domestic confinement of colors, shapes and wallpapers in an entire seclusion continued right into the twentieth century into the literary product of some of the women writers. According to Gilbert and Gubar, some of those women Victorian writers tried to give voice to those women descending into sickness and mental diseases throughout their endeavor to oppress their awareness of the inner creative power which comes as a part of their desire to accept the limited social role they are trapped in.

Abstract:

In Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story "The Yellow Wallpaper", elements of horror and suspense are deeply connected to the anxiety and resistance of women under gender oppression. This paper interprets "The Yellow Wallpaper" from the perspective of female psychoanalysis in the socio-historical context and argues that the elements of "uncanny" in the short story, such as "confined space", "recurrence of the repressed" and the "double", have the significance of reflecting the crisis of female identity, exposing the shortcomings of patriarchal society and constructing the image of "new woman".

Abstract:

This article argues that the transformation of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's gender discourse from dystopia to utopia, exemplified by means of the commonly perceived evolution from her tale "The Yellow Wallpaper" (1892) to her novel Herland (1915), does not follow a linear trajectory from oppression to feminist jubilee, but rather presents a circular progression. As an author, Gilman is able to encounter spaces of creativity in creative displays of female insanity as a result of patriarchal subjection, and instances of subjugation in idealised all-female contexts. Both works contribute manifestations of oppression and exultation, even if they were written at different stages of the author's career, and have conventionally been considered as significantly dissimilar in their respective gender approach. This article aims to delineate a tendency toward circular evolution rather than linear progression by means of unveiling displays of utopia in “The Yellow Wallpaper” and of dystopia in Herland. These premises will be achieved through a comparative analysis of "The Yellow Wallpaper" and Herland by means of identifying traces of narratological features pertaining to dystopian and utopian fiction in both works.

Abstract:

This paper deploys the methodology of textual analysis to re-read and undertake an exegesis of the short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and “Bliss” penned by modernist writer Katherine Mansfield. The exploration of the symbols and imagery that abound in the texts reveal and underscore the thematic framework of the short stories. While the colour, animal and food imagery add richness to the story of Bertha Mason in “Bliss”, the multifarious symbols are symptomatic of the protagonist’s mental make-up and the descent into madness of her creative propensity in “The Yellow Wallpaper”.

In the uppermost room of their rented cottage, which was previously a nursery, she encounters a source of discomfort—the yellow wallpaper that adorns the walls. Her fixation on the wallpaper intensifies, blurring the line between reality and her imagination. Written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, this story is known for its chilling atmosphere and the various interpretations it invites.

Abstract:

The main factor causing inequality for women is patriarchy. As in many old-school traditions, patriarchy remains in marriage where wives are urged to bow down to their husbands and the husband is regarded as the ultimate authority of the household. This research investigates the narrative of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's iconic short story, "The Yellow Wallpaper". Descriptive qualitative research and textual analysis approach are used to complete this research analysis. Along with the depiction of radical feminism, this research aims to subvert patriarchal ideals. This is in keeping with the narratorâ€™s husband John, who works as a physician, forbids her to do anything instead locking her in the ancestral halls. The reason of his attitude as if this is the only way to cure the female narratorâ€™s depressing nervous trouble. She is often considered let the silly fancies run in her mind and lost control. In the nursery room she is locked up, she found an irritating painting on the yellow wallpaper. Yet, she later discovered there is a woman imprisoned in the painting who is always creeping. The findings show that the yellow wallpaper symbolizes the female narratorâ€™s suffering as a captivated creature and pushed by the patriarchy control.

Abstract:

In an unquestionably patriarchal society, women who dissent, who had a voice of her own, one with strong affiliations towards social change were labelled as hysteric and mad. Their symptoms were thoughtfulness, deviation from social behavior, tendency to shout and express one’s emotion, even getting angry were considered as symptoms of hysteria. A hysteric woman is a hopeless woman, the lost one; who needs to be locked up in an attic. The men had two extreme approaches towards these conditions. They either treated women as fragile beings, who need to be cared and nurtured under the protection of men. Or they termed “women with disease” as monstrous, insane, dangerous and despicable beings. These two approaches were unhealthy and were designed to preserve the superiority of masculine self over the feminine. These tags which were labelled on women came from their existential fear; ‘the castration anxiety’.

Abstract:

Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper tells a story of the heroine who, due to postpartum depression, is sent by her husband to a remote country house to receive “rest cure”, during which the heroine is forbidden to engage in all activities, but she constantly resists and eventually goes insane. This thesis first analyzes the process of the awakening of the heroine’s female consciousness from three aspects: writing secretly, discovering the shadow and ripping the wallpaper. In addition, through the analysis of both internal factors and external factors this thesis aims to explore the causes of her awakening: the rebelliousness, curiousness and kindness in the heroine’s character make her learn to fight against the patriarchy in the face of oppression and eventually discover the secret behind the wallpaper; restraints of the autocratic family, constraints of the patriarchal society and influences of the irritating surroundings prevent the heroine from doing the work she prefers, leaving the woman as a subordinate to her husband. All of these factors push the heroine to get rid of the oppression of patriarchy on women, so as to gain spiritual independence and freedom.

Abstract:

This study aims to explore the concept of feminism in The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a short story that explores the theme of loneliness and oppression of a woman through a feminist perspective. The study is qualitative in nature and uses textual analysis as an approach. The protagonist, a woman, is confined to her room and treated as an invalid by her husband, who is a doctor. She is not allowed to engage in activities that would stimulate her imagination and creativity, leading to feelings of isolation and loneliness. Through the protagonist's experience, Gilman critiques the patriarchal society of her time, where women were denied agency and considered inferior to men. In this story, all these things have been felt by the main character who has miraculous imagination. She found a painting and feel that there is a woman who has been strangled by the painting. She has crawled to get out of that painting but she failed. Indirectly she found herself in that woman who has been imprisoned in the painting. She is the living example of the oppressed creature in the clutches of patriarchal society. The yellow wallpaper in the story symbolizes the limitations imposed on the protagonist and other women of her time, highlighting the patriarchal control and oppression they face. In conclusion, The Yellow Wallpaper portrays the loneliness and isolation of women in a patriarchal society through a feminist lens.

Abstract:

Central to the feministic theories of Charlotte Perkins Gilman is the emancipation of women from being seen as economically dependent to men, and from the “middle class ideal of domestic femininity” (Robertson, 2018). This paper attempted at stylistically analyzing one of Gilman’s most famous works, The Yellow Wallpaper, drawing on the transitivity framework of Halliday (1968), and assisted by the underpinning on feminist stylistics by Mills (1995 as cited in Montoro, 2014). Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper was analyzed through the material and mental processes with which the narrator encoded her worldview and experiences in the story. The excerpted lines were stylistically examined within the parameters of feminism, lending a dark warning on the consequences of gender stereotype and prejudice on another’s mental health. The analysis revealed the allegory of the yellow wallpaper in the narrator’s makeshift asylum, depicting how women are supposedly trapped in marriages that seem to diminish their roles to a “domestic housewife” and inferior to the husband. The narrator’s material and mental processes unraveled her wanting to be, and eventual freedom from the stereotypes of the world she lived in. The same analysis also provided for the use of such language resources towards a stylistically fuller, and socially aware understanding and appreciation of a literary text. Implications drawn from this study touched on the use of feminist stylistic lenses to bring forth relevant social issues to enrich the study and teaching of literary pieces in the classroom; and on the psychology of gender-based stereotyping and bias against women in particular, and other genders in general.

Abstract:

This paper attempts to yield a critical reading of “The Yellow Wallpaper” (1892), which is one of the pioneering feminist works of American literature. Attempts have been made at finding affinities between the specific characterization of the story and the stereotypical male and female figures as defined by patriarchy and in terms of traditional gender roles. The paper tries to draw on Lacan’s conceptions of language, Cixous’ ideas about écriture féminine, and Freud’s misconception about women’s conditions. Drawing critical attention to this information, the paper focuses on the main unnamed female character and the fact that her anonymity helps the readers, specifically female readers, to identify themselves with her.

Abstract:

This article depicts John’s attitude in treating his wife’s nervous depression in Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper.” The treatment is supposed to help the wife get better. Yet, she ends up with a severe mental breakdown. The researchers argue that John’s attitude towards his sickly wife is what is called antagonistic kindness. This study employed the qualitative descriptive method through the perspective of feminist literary criticism. Since the narrator is the wife, the data were taken from the wife’s accounts of John’s acts and speeches towards her during the special treatment in the rented mansion. The wife’s thoughts on John also serve as the essential data to show how manipulative and dictating John is. The research indicates that John’s attitude embodies antagonistic kindness manifested in two major cruel-kindness actions or decisions, including psychological manipulation and dictation towards his wife. John keeps saying that all the treatment is for the wife’s sake, yet, he says such a thing to make the wife feel guilty for being a burden. Moreover, John has his wife’s daily activities scheduled, preventing her from doing anything out of his control. He never listens to what his wife wants or feels, thus worsening the wife’s psychological condition. The researchers further argue that John exhibits the so-called antagonistic kindness to maintain his reputation as a physician of high standing and keep dominating his wife as his property. The findings thus might help the readers be aware of any forms of kindness that antagonize and manipulate them psychologically.

For the analysis of themes, it explores the significant issue about gender oppression that is happening inside the marriage wherein the husband turns to be dominant while the wife becomes inferior. On the other hand, the symbolisms reflect the essential representation of gender oppression experienced by the women in the story. Based on the findings, it is concluded that the story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman contains gender oppression. This study recommends that the literary researchers should make a character analysis, may create a study of the story that studies the theme of the literary work and should make a symbolism analysis essay on the story The Yellow Wallpaper.

This study describes the impact of patriarchal culture on the main character in the short story The Yellow Wallpaper. The concept of patriarchy reflects a social system in which dominance and privilege are primarily held by men, thus bringing significant implications to women's lives. Through narrative analysis, this research reveals the dominance of the main character, John, as the main control in the narrator's life and the excessive focus on domestic life that inhibits women's freedom. This research uses descriptive qualitative methodology with Spradley's data analysis technique, grounded in Walby's patriarchy theory, to identify patriarchal elements in the story and analyze their impact. The results show that patriarchal culture creates limitations on women's freedom and autonomy, detailing the suppression of individual freedom, reliance on male authority, distrust of women's experiences, and restrictions of gender stereotypes. Overall, this short story provides a clear picture of the negative impact patriarchal structures have had on women's lives over the years.

Abstract:

The aim of this research is to explore how isolation influences the formation of identity in Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper (1892) through a feminist lens. By examining the protagonist’s experiences of confinement and mental deterioration, the research seeks to uncover the ways in which patriarchal structures contribute to the suppression of women’s identities. Additionally, the study aims to analyze the symbolism within the narrative, particularly the wallpaper itself, as a representation of the struggle for autonomy and self-expression. Ultimately, this research aspires to provide a deeper understanding of the psychological complexities faced by women in oppressive environments and highlight the transformative potential of reclaiming one’s identity amidst isolation.

Abstract:

This paper examines how Charlotte Perkins Gilman(1860-1935) depicts the effects of isolation, physical and psychological, on the heroine in her story "The Yellow Wallpaper"(1892). By using the first person narration which is a subjective style of writing, the writer reveals the thoughts and feelings of the narrator as she tries to fight against psychological pressures which she could not cope with. Furthermore, the paper examines the reasons which lead to the woman's breakdown, mainly her isolation from people, her need for communication and the way of treatment she receives from her husband. Her domineering husband looks upon her as a weak and an inferior person. He deprives her of practicing any activity. As the narrator is forced to withdraw from society, she looks for something to occupy her mind with. Gradually, she becomes interested in the yellow wallpaper. She stares at the pattern and finally decides that it represents a woman trapped behind the bars. She begins to peel the paper off the walls to liberate the woman. The writer describes the different stages of the woman's deterioration, exposing the different factors which contribute and lead to her madness. Meanwhile, she gives a message warning women of the results when they do not fight back to assert their individuality. Therefore, the story's value lies in the fact that the writer presents this Timeless subject.

Abstract:

De los abundantes estudios que abordan la contribución al feminismo de «The Yellow Wallpaper» (Charlotte Perkins Gilman, 1892), apenas alguno presta especial atención al tema del doble más allá de su tratamiento clínico de la enajenación. Este artículo plantea algunas reflexiones respecto al tratamiento literario de la identidad femenina mediante el uso del doble. La aproximación de Jourde y Tortonese (1996) permite una distinción esencial por cuanto considera un rasgo de género interesante: el desdoblamiento femenino suele ser externo u objetivo. El doble subjetivo casi nunca está encarnado por mujeres. El recurso del doble subjetivo femenino, apartado del discurso canónico de la exploración del individuo moderno en este y otros textos que aquí se consideran, ha de dedicarse a indagar y construir su propia identidad: su voz no puede hablar por el conjunto de las inquietudes humanas sino solo por la suya en tanto que mujer.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To discuss how literature can be used to educate healthcare practitioners and students about the patient's physical and emotional response to treatment. DATA SOURCES: A MEDLINE search (January 1975-November 1997) of English-language literature pertinent to using literature in health care was performed. Additional literature was obtained from a search of the New York University Web site on medicine and humanities, biographies of Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and a search of the MLA and INFOTRAC database. SELECTION AND DATA EXTRACTION: All articles and literature were considered for possible inclusion in this article. Pertinent information, as judged by the author, was selected for discussion. SUMMARY: Literature can pose a wealth of information to the healthcare professional. The short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” is analyzed in this article as one example of how literature portrays the patient's emotional response to disease. This short story describes a 19th-century woman's “descent into madness” and the ineffective treatment attempted by her well-meaning physician husband. The author, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, loosely based the story on her own experience with the respected physician, S Weir Mitchell and his famous rest cure. Some biographical information about Mitchell and Perkins is included, as well as a commentary on the treatment of depression in the 19th century. CONCLUSIONS: Short stories such as “The Yellow Wallpaper,” novels, and other short stories can help to remind the healthcare professional of the subjective nature of even our most proven therapies. As we strive to teach and deliver pharmaceutical care, we can use literature to help us understand the emotional impact of our drug therapies.

Abstract:

This article explores a feminist approach to the nineteenth century psychoanalytical treatment of 'Bed Rest'. The treatment, as the article demonstrates, is practiced on women who according to standards of patriarchal society project abnormal brain activity, and should be reduced to docility in order for them to resume their domestic societal roles. However, the cure in this research does indeed prove to be beneficial for women by giving the opposite of the intended outcome, by allowing women enough space to question their place in society and allocate a subjective Self that goes beyond the fixed patriarchal image of maleness and femaleness onto a fluid 'in-between'. This newly formed individuality will be discussed through the analysis of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story 'The Yellow Wallpaper'..

Abstract:

Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a prominent American novelist and feminist, well-known for her works The Yellow Wallpaper and Herland, which have drawn considerable attention from scholars at home and abroad and aroused wide discussion since their publication. In most cases, the former was regarded as a classic of gender politics and the latter, a feminist utopia. Through the detailed analysis of the two works, it can be found that Gilman has interwoven the spirit of community into the two works, considering it as the right path to gaining women&rsquo;s equality and freedom. In The Yellow Wallpaper, Gilman just implicitly puts forward women alliance as a potential way to liberate women; while in Herland, Gilman describes the harmony between people (women) and the surroundings, between people (women) and people (men), which demonstrates that Gilman is more resolute and more confident in community and cooperation. In the meanwhile, from the two works, it can be found that Gilman&rsquo;s thought on community is changing and more and more progressive and that the forming of community is a more effective way to contribute to personal growth and development.

Abstract:

O campo dos estudos culturais/literários foca na identificação dos fenômenos responsáveis pela marginalização/subalternização dos sujeitos. Assim, a análise das ondas do movimento feminista através dos olhos da literatura torna possível uma maior aproximação da sociedade perante os fatos que ocorreram e ocorrem no mundo, no intuito de que a luta contra a desigualdade e o patriarcalismo perpetue-se e torna-se uma realidade cada vez mais tangível. O objetivo deste artigo é contextualizar as ondas feministas através da análise de dois contos: “The Yellow Wallpaper” da autora Charlotte Perkins Gilman, publicado originalmente em 1892 e “Woman Hollering Creek” da escritora Sandra Cisneros, publicado em 1991. Para isso, fundamentamos esta pesquisa principalmente com os trabalhos de Pinto (2010), Devereux (2014), Anzaldua (1987), Bittencourt (2015), Walter (2015) e Saffioti (1986) e percebemos que os quase 100 anos que separam as duas histórias foram marcados por diversas conquistas da agenda feminista. Através das ondas se tornou possível materializar a opressão vivida pelas mulheres e a literatura mostrou-se como um excelente guia para ilustrar de forma clara esse percurso. Uma vez que “The Yellow Wallpaper” e “Woman Hollering Creek” representam bem os dois momentos e discursos da primeira e terceira ondas respectivamente.
