| the yellow wallpaper questions and answers: The Yellow Wallpaper Illustrated Charlotte Perkins Gilman, 2019-07-03 The story details the descent of a young woman into madness. Her supportive, though misunderstanding husband, John, believes it is in her best interests to go on a rest cure after experiencing symptoms of temporary nervous depression. The family spends the summer at a colonial mansion that has, in the narrator's words, something queer about it. She and her husband move into an upstairs room that she assumes was once a nursery. Her husband chooses for them to sleep there due to its multitude of windows, which provide the air so needed in her recovery. In addition to the couple, John's sister Jennie is present; she serves as their housekeeper. Like most nurseries at the time the windows are barred, the wallpaper has been torn, and the floor is scratched. The narrator attributes all these to children, as most of the damage is isolated to their reach. Ultimately, though, readers are left unsure as to the source of the room's state, leading them to see the ambiguities in the unreliability of the narrator.The narrator devotes many journal entries to describing the wallpaper in the room - its yellow smell, its breakneck pattern, the missing patches, and the way it leaves yellow smears on the skin and clothing of anyone who touches it. She describes how the longer one stays in the bedroom, the more the wallpaper appears to mutate, especially in the moonlight. With no stimulus other than the wallpaper, the pattern and designs become increasingly intriguing to the narrator. She soon begins to see a figure in the design, and eventually comes to believe that a woman is creeping on all fours behind the pattern. Believing she must try to free the woman in the wallpaper, the woman begins to strip the remaining paper off the wall.After many moments of tension between John and his sister, the story climaxes with the final day in the house. On the last day of summer, she locks herself in her room to strip the remains of the wallpaper. When John arrives home, she refuses to unlock the door. When he returns with the key, he finds her creeping around the room, circling the walls and touching the wallpaper. She excitedly exclaims, I've got out at last... in spite of you and Jane, causing her husband to faint as she continues to circle the room, creeping over his inert body each time she passes it, believing herself to have become the personification of the woman trapped behind the yellow wallpaper. |

A library with the secrets to the universe. A woman too busy to notice her heart slipping away. Carolyn's not so different from the other people around her. She likes guacamole and cigarettes and steak. She knows how to use a phone. Clothes are a bit tricky, but everyone says nice things about her outfit with the Christmas sweater over the gold bicycle shorts. After all, she was a normal American herself once. That was a long time ago, of course. Before her parents died. Before she and the others were taken in by the man they called Father. In the years since then, Carolyn hasn't had a chance to get out much. Instead, she and her adopted siblings have been raised according to Father's ancient customs. They've studied the books in his Library and learned some of the secrets of his power. And sometimes, they've wondered if their cruel tutor might secretly be God. Now, Father is missing—perhaps even dead—and the Library that holds his secrets stands unguarded. And with it, control over all of creation. As Carolyn gathers the tools she needs for the battle to come, fierce competitors for this prize align against her, all of them with powers that far exceed her own. But Carolyn has accounted for this. And Carolyn has a plan. The only trouble is that in the war to make a new God, she's forgotten to protect the things that make her human. Populated by an unforgettable cast of characters and propelled by a plot that will shock you again and again, The Library at Mount Char is at once horrifying and hilarious, mind-blowingly alien and heartbreakingly human, sweepingly visionary and nail-bitingly thrilling—and signals the arrival of a major new voice in fantasy.

| the yellow wallpaper questions and answers: Indelicacy Amina Cain, 2020-02-11 FINALIST FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION'S FIRST NOVEL PRIZE Cain’s small but mighty novel reads like a ghost story and packs the punch of a feminist classic. —The New York Times Book Review A haunted feminist fable, Amina Cain’s Indelicacy is the story of a woman navigating between gender and class roles to empower herself and fulfill her dreams. In a strangely ageless world somewhere between Emily Dickinson and David Lynch (Blake Butler), a cleaning woman at a museum of art nurtures aspirations to do more than simply dust the paintings around her. She dreams of having the liberty to explore them in writing, and so must find a way to win herself the time and security to use her mind. She escapes her lot by marrying a rich man, but having gained a husband, a house, high society, and a maid, she finds that her new life of privilege is no less constrained. Not only has she taken up different forms of time-consuming labor—social and erotic—but she is now, however passively, forcing other women to clean up after her. Perhaps another and more drastic solution is necessary? Reminiscent of a lost Victorian classic in miniature, yet taking equal inspiration from such modern authors as Jean Rhys, Octavia Butler, Clarice Lispector, and Jean Genet, Amina Cain's Indelicacy is at once a ghost story without a ghost, a fable without a moral, and a down-to-earth investigation of the barriers faced by women in both life and literature. It is a novel about seeing, class, desire, anxiety, pleasure, friendship, and the battle to find one’s true calling. |

| the yellow wallpaper questions and answers: The Yellow Wallpaper and Herland Charlotte Perkins Gilman, 2024-08-22 The Yellow Wallpaper and Herland, written by prominent feminist author Charlotte Perkins Stetson Gilman, offers a thought-provoking and compelling exploration of gender roles, mental health, and societal expectations in the late 19th and early 20th century. Both texts, although written nearly a decade apart, share a common theme of challenging traditional gender norms and advocating for female empowerment. In The Yellow Wallpaper, Gilman tells the story of a woman's descent into madness as she is confined to a room with yellow wallpaper by her controlling husband, who is also her physician. Through the protagonist's increasingly erratic thoughts and behaviors, the author highlights the damaging effects of the oppressive patriarchal society on women's mental health. Gilman also critiques the medical profession's treatment of women, particularly highlighting the lack of agency and autonomy female patients were given in their own care. Herland, on the other hand, presents a utopian society where women live in isolation and have evolved to reproduce through parthenogenesis, rendering men unnecessary. The story follows three male explorers who stumble upon this all-female society and are forced to confront their own preconceived notions of gender roles and superiority. Through this fictional society, Gilman challenges traditional gender roles and suggests that women are capable of thriving without men, challenging the male-dominated societal structure of the time. Gilman's writing in both books is characterized by her strong feminist beliefs and her ability to use fiction to present thought-provoking social commentary. She challenges the idea of women's inherent inferiority and advocates for their rights to autonomy, education, and independence. Her writing also sheds light on the damaging effects of patriarchal norms and expectations on women's mental health, a topic that was often ignored or dismissed in her time. The Yellow Wallpaper and Herland remain relevant and powerful texts in today's society, shedding light on the ongoing struggle for gender equality and the importance of empowering women. They continue to inspire feminist discourse and serve as a reminder of the progress that still needs to be made in achieving true gender equality. Overall, this collection of books is a must-read for anyone interested in feminist literature and the societal implications of gender roles. In this collection of stories, Dostoevsky showcases his remarkable ability to delve into the depths of the human experience. Through his rich character development, unflinching social commentary, and nuanced exploration of themes such as love, isolation, and the inherent contradictions within humanity, the author masterfully captures the essence of what it means to be human. These seven short stories are a testament to Dostoevsky's timeless brilliance and continue to enthrall readers with their piercing insights into the human condition. |
