In an examination of the constancies, it seems as though both wife and husband, woman and man, are reliant upon both one another and their marriage to function
An idea from Gilman’s incorporated the central character of the story being oppressed and signifies the effect of the domination of women in the society, as an example from the narrative point of view, “John laughs at me, of course, but one expects that in marriage.” (768, line 7).
