“A sad sympathy filled her eyes. Sharada lowered her knife”. Her personality appears to take a radical turn, though it is not documented through a conversation. Due to the fact that the authentic character of Sharada is exposed mainly through her psychological and inner expansion, leaving the audience to fill in several facets of the story in its maturation, this story can not only be placed under the Poe genre of short stories but it can also be set in the category of the “ideal short story” stories within the Poe
In addition, she portrays similar tones such as desperation and mournfulness. In fact, in lines 30 to 24 her tone is at it’s most somber state as she expresses her guilt for being a bad mother to her “child” and believes she has not sent this child away prepared for the world’s cruel criticism. Furthermore, the diction is a device that coincides with the tone of the poem. Her choice of words all share a very strong connotation. As previously mentioned she uses the words ill formed and feeble to describe her unfinished writing’s fragility.
A Lesson in Mastering Loss Elizabeth Bishop’s poem “One Art” is about loss. In it she mentions many of the small losses in life that we may experience but she is clearly talking about losing a love. Who she is speaking to in this poem is unclear but there is evidence to show that she and she alone is her own audience for this poem. She expresses denial, anger, blame, regret, humor and in the end she exclaims “Write it!”, which looks to be directed from the speaker to herself, either way it can be construed as acceptance. In the poem she goes through increasingly bigger losses that she quickly dismisses in a sarcastic manner until she reaches the loss of her lover.
The juxtaposition of the tempo and the actual context of the poem serve to create a strange tone and some black humor in the poem. Her setting and clothing are described. Her one bed-sitting room and "grey-serge" outfit suggest to us that she is a poor woman and she is forced to live in somewhat uncomfortable situations. This helps to develop the stories character and to also ease us into the story. The story of Miss Gee changes somewhat in the seventh quatrain as we enter the dreams of the character Miss Edith Gee.
The story goes by and the setting does not change, that is why the woman goes crazier and starts crawling into the wallpaper trying to help get the woman out. It is not to late before she realizes that she is insane and the woman she tries to get out of the wallpaper is only herself. There is also some kind of irony in the story because her husband puts her into that room without activity or work to help her problem. But the irony is that instead of helping her, it just makes the woman more insane because she imagines more things. The setting impacted the character in the story because the woman was in that lonely room the whole time and the woman just felt more insane.
Arnold is explaining his appearance and how he got picked on about his persona. Another example is “ She was trying to live out her dream. We should have been delirious that she’d moved out the basement”(p.91). Arnold is talking about his sister and how she had the dream to be a writer. She gave up for awhile but then she went out and tried to live her dream.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote a piece named “The Yellow Wallpaper”, where the narrator of the story is vividly entangled in her imagination causing her artistic impulses to consume her emotions. She is a “closet psychotic” as she does not disclose this infatuation of the yellow wallpaper to anyone around her. Charlotte Perkins Gilman writes a complex story where the narrator is trapped in her secret obsession of unraveling what’s inside this “yellow wallpaper”, which then drives her imaginative creativity, into insanity. The narrator begins by informing the reader how she and her family have recently started to stay in a new house for a little while so she may receive complete rest. This respite was prescribed to her by her husband, a physician.
I can’t do it at night, for John would suspect something at once.”(124) This creeping of the woman in the wallpaper and the narrator describes some of the extreme lengths that women went to get some freedom for themselves. Creeping around physically and politically, women had to sneak for a while before being acknowledged as independent and intelligent beings. As aptly expressed by Thomas when written, “Women attempted to over through the traditional definition of women’s roles. This perfectly describes what women had to do in this time to have some small amount of freedom. They had to reduce themselves to subversion and trickery.

Their reactions and ways of experiencing guilt differ. Macbeth more obviously is afflicted by this feeling, as his moral compass is more direct. His wife, Lady Macbeth, has a more subtle urging of guilt in her life as it only plagues her, subconsciously, in her sleep. Shakespeare
