Furthermore, John refuses to acknowledge anything pertaining to her mental state which causes her to become angry with him. As her obsession of the yellow wallpaper grows deeper, so also does her insanity; although in this case her anger seems “perfectly understandable” (Schumaker 594). Moreover she begins to harbor animosity and resentment towards her husband because of his refusal to listen to her. John’s love for the narrator is never questioned, but his stark ignorance to the situation is undeniable. As the story continues the narrator constantly studies the wallpaper, and begins to believe that there is a woman trapped behind it.
She becomes almost paralyzed while trembling because of her incapability to do anything and knowing nothing about how to help the fawn. “She was thinking , I must do something, I must do something, but the immediacy of the tiny creature, its extraordinary physical beauty and terrible frailty distracted her, scattered her thoughts like a flock of birds frightened by a gunshot,” ( Oates 499) up until Lyle Carter arrives.

Julie Vignon in Trois Couleurs: Bl*e*u Julie Vignon is a character going through major depressive episode. The things she did have to suffer from caused this change and there are many traces of her having this depressive disorder throughout the movie. First of all, it should be mentioned that Julie Vignon never really smiles throughout the movie and she talks without any sign of enthusiasm, and only does things to get her mind away from her husband and daughter.

She now sleepwalks and always has a delusional belief that she has blood on her hands. “Out, damned spot…who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?” she says as she sleepwalks (5.1.37-42). Lady Macbeth believes that nothing can wash away her blood and even more so her evil deeds. Although she had previously told Macbeth after Duncan’s death that he can just wash away the deed, those words have now come to haunt her since she herself cannot “wash them away”. Furthermore, Macbeth’s evil actions have caused him to no longer have feelings.

Instead of acting in a mature manner like an adult, she becomes hysterical and exaggerates, “...now here’s Mr. Bennet gone away, and I know he will fight Wickham, wherever he meets him, and then he will be killed, and what is to become of us all?” (192). The fact that she questions the fate of her family if anything should happen to her husband implies that even she is aware of her insufficient mothering. Additionally, her ability to ignore the real issues and magnify the trivial ones, as aforementioned, further glorifies her foolish character and ability to make
Psychological insanity also means “insane” hence insanity and Catherine does not eat and all she ever talks about is death. Becoming an “insane” person means “in a state of mind from normal perception”
The turning point in this poem was when Gwendolyn said “She heard no hoof-beat of the horse and saw no flash of the shining steel.” This line describes how Carolyn realized that Roy was not the man he appeared to be and she grows to be angry and disgusted with him and “her hatred for him bursts into glorious flowers”. The killing of Emmitt Till both angered and inspired Gwendolyn to write this poem, and shows her hatred against Roy through the eyes of Carolyn. Instead of coming right out and saying how she felt she described how she felt carefully through Carolyn over a period of
Edna’s childishness is less admirable, she becomes very self absorbed in herself. She disregards others, and she does not think realistically. Edna’s refusal to think realistically is not just about what is currently happening, but also about her future, and this does not allow her to think about the consequences for her actions. In the end, Edna’s thoughts about her children are what inspire her to commit suicide. She realizes that no matter how little she depends on others, her children’s lives are the ones that will be affected by society because of her actions.
