From here, the couple proceeded to get into quite the argument, showing that their communication habits are, indeed, unhealthy because the husband continued to talk, even though he knew it would lead to a disagreement. This poor communication can transition into tension between partners. The two people in “A Song on Royal Street” by Richard Blessing also struggled with ineffective communication: “’Remember?’ ‘No’” (30). Here, the man is telling the woman about an event that happened on Royal Street many
John is a physician and believes that his wife is only suffering from a “temporary nervous depression-a slight hysterical tendency” (70) and due to this condition she should obtain plenty of rest, air and exercise but absolutely no work. The narrator is a writer that is forbidden to write because her husband believes that any form of society or stimulus could cause her condition to deteriorate further.

John seems to be very controlling and throughout the story berates his wife, while treating her like a small child that needs caring for. Every attempt that is made by the narrator to express her concerns is met with opposition or disregard.
She became more and more mad in that house, especially with the yellow wallpaper in their room. She can imagine that in the yellow paper, there were women creeping all the time. At the end, the woman is nearly insane. As I can see from it, the yellow wallpaper was the main factor that made the narrator insane, while in a deep interpretation, the wallpaper was just a symbol of the domestic power of man that controlled the woman's life in the 19th century. "The Yellow Wallpaper" implies the woman's lower position in that society.
Tracey Holloway English Literature 2328 Professor Solak October 5, 2013 Who is That Woman inside the Wallpaper? Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s short story, “The Yellow Wallpaper” takes place in the late 1890’s. Her protagonist appears to be suffering from postpartum depression and slowly losing her mind while in the home she has been sent to for treatment. Yet upon further investigation into the character of our nameless narrator, the reader learns that the story is essentially focused on her struggle to maintain her own identity and sanity within the limitations of her setting. The central character’s analysis of a fictional woman trapped behind the bars of the horrid yellow wallpaper that encased the room she was confined to, severed her identity as she suppressed the anxieties of her experiences and ultimately led to the demise of the boundaries between herself and the imagined woman.
The wallpaper’s tendency to go into knots and “pointless patterns” of lines with no ending imitates her mind; the wallpaper just like her thoughts is a loop that always moves in never-ending circles. She is constantly trying to understand the inner reality of her life since there is a broken connection between what her beliefs and actions. She physically accepts the demeaning relationship with her husband however she secretly rebels his demands because she knows it is good for her like writing in her journal. Also, she passionately desires to see and take care of her baby but she does not reject being taken away to a different location. The color of the wallpaper reflects her sickness.

Men can have an adverse effect on women’s lives, these relationships can cause inner turmoil in the lives of those women involved. Ophelia from Hamlet and Linda Lowman from Death of a Salesman are prime examples of how these relationships can turn their lives for worse. Many do no realize what they are giving up to keep the calm, or are so blind that they feel a sense of normality in their lives. Both of these women let their men basically have total control of their entire being, which resulted in both their lives ending in tragedy. These women are both heading for disaster; they let these men treat them as they see fit and do not take Linda and Ophelia’s feelings into consideration.
I also don’t like my disorder because I end up getting mad over little things and than I get into trouble and trouble comes with fines and / or jail time and I’m to old to be acting up anymore and its also not fair to my mother because I don’t have a job right now so she would be the one having to pay for the out come of my mistake because I got angry over something small or even something stupid.

But here I can creep smoothly on the floor, and my shoulder just fits in that long smooch around the wall, so I cannot lose my way. In the story “The Yellow Wallpaper” many delusions or actions the narrator does, suggest she is losing her mind. From her fabled beginning of being confined to the ominous room with bared windows, to her enormous excerpt of insanity in the concluding scene. In these few lines of “The Yellow Wallpaper”, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, the narrator is consumed by her debilitating fear of being trapped inside the wallpaper, and eventually loses her mind over this constant obsession. From the passage the narrator shows that she has completely been consumed by her infatuation of the wallpaper, so much as to say “I wonder if they came out of that wall-paper as I did?” when the narrator is speaking in this line she sees, “so many of those creeping women,” or figures that she believed were birth from the wallpaper as she believes she was also.
