The two heroines being contrasted are Emily Grierson and Alice Kingsleigh. Emily Grierson truly wanted to get married and meet men, but while her father was alive, she was not permitted to socialize and meet men. “We remembered all the young men her father had driven away…” (Faulkner 4) Due to her father’s overprotectiveness, she did not know how to flirt with men, so when a fellow by the name of Homer came by, she fell in love with him knowing that he was not the marrying type.

Both of these female protagonists are fighting for freedoms. The sense of freedom in “The Yellow Wallpaper” however is different from that in “The Story of an Hour”. The freedom in “Wallpaper” is somehow not that strong enough than the other story. Once the narrator is claimed to have postpartum depression, her husband who is a doctor tries to cure her by sending her to a haunted mansion. She does not allow writing as “he hates to have me write a word” (Gilman, 2), and has to stay away from her relatives and son.
She sneaks around spying on her husband. It is not until Torvald calls for his wife, that the audiences can see the childishness begin to surface in Nora. He showers her with nicknames that she responds to in a very schoolgirl manner. She seems to flirt with Torvald as if their several years of marriage have not phased her love for him. The way Nora responds to her husband along with how he speaks to her also makes her relationship seem like one a father would have with his daughter rather than a marriage of several years.
That Nora, the wife, was completely immoral for her role change from submissive, helpless, sweet little doll of a wife, to a human with real emotions and her own creed of morals that differed from men’s and most people’s of that time. It even caused enough controversy that signs were made for men to put up in their parlors saying "No Doll House discussions here" in Germany to discourage arguments about play. In Act One of "A Doll House" we see Nora acting as the typical wife in that time period and culture, always spritefull and endearing, agreeable to her husband, and attending to him, or staying out of the way depending on his beck and call. She would always be there for him if he needed her, which wasn’t very often. Right away she asks to borrow some money and Helmer, her husband shares his opinion of her flighty spending habits, and that she had nothing to show for it.
In fact he becomes so angry that he tells Ophelia that he never loved her and that instead of marrying she should go to a nunnery rather then pass on her genes to children. At this point in the story, Hamlet makes it seem as if he is not interested in women anymore. For the readers perspective at this point in the story they are clue less as to the true feelings of Hamlet. Hamlet also does not have very much respect for his mother anymore. This may be why he has such a difficult time getting along with women.
The narrator states the mother’s resentment of Connie’s beauty because “her looks were gone and that was why she was always after Connie.”[451]. Connie doesn’t make the situation between the two any better by instigating her mother with curt answers and rude responses. “Her parents and her sister were going to a barbecue at an aunt’s house and Connie said ‘no’, she wasn’t interested, rolling her eyes to let her mother know exactly what she thought.”[453]. the only time Connie fully admits that she truly did love her mother was when she was crying in the phone for her. Connie’s father is a quiet bystander when it came to his wife and daughter heated arguments.
