The man in the yellow suit could have been real or fantasy. The way he was describe with the long gray beard and always was running his fingers through it, made it sound as if he was your classic villain in a story. Back then, I’m sure no one walked around in a clean, brightly colored yellow suit. This character could of possibly been real. Next was Jesse at the tree with the spring. Winnie mentioned

    ...h is why fantasy is necessary for children in succeeding through a quest for sanity and morality. Through what is essentially known as escaping reality, children such as the character Max can further bring themselves to understand what they are feeling by unconsciously thinking about it in an imaginative way. Projecting certain personalities into characters in a way that accurately relates to Max is a prosperous way to develop a reassured idea in his life, between himself and the relationships around him. Thus, effortlessly reaching a sense of sanity and morality after all, “Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It’s a way of understanding it.” (Lloyd Alexander)

    In “The Yellow Wallpaper”, it also displays a deep need for important relationships, and someone who can care for you. Similarly to Of Mice and Men, the characters both only have one important relationship they cling to, but both seem unhealthy and borderline abusive. In Of Mice and Men, Lennie is dependent on George, but in that case, both George and Lennie are oppressed because they are migrant workers and have little money, moving from town to town. In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” the narrator is dependent on her husband, but she is the only one oppressed, because she is a woman, her state of wealth, or where she lives aren’t important.

    In order to see how Magical Realism is found in this treatment, one must first consider at least one of the identifying marks of Magical Realism. Among the characteristics that identify Magical Realism is the feeling of transcendence that the reader has while reading a Magical Realist text (Simpkins 150). During transcendence, a reader senses something that is beyond the real world. At the same time, however, the reader still feels as if he or she were rooted in the world (Sandner 52). After the reader undergoes transcendence, then he or she should have a different outlook on life.
