In the short story, “The Painted Door”, John and Ann are a married couple, who have been together for seven years, and yet despite this fact, they still have trouble communicating. Ann wishes, from the very beginning of the story, that John would stay at home with her rather than go to check on his father. However, rather than expressing these sentiments exactly, she acts very cold towards him and insists that she’ll be perfectly fine, trying to guilt him into staying. Though it works, as John offers to stay with her rather than visiting his father’s farm, Ann decides to instead push away her feelings of spite and loneliness and allows him to leave, despite worrying about his safety and how she’s going to cope while John is gone. This is the

Paul Wade was one of two important people in John’s life. Besides Paul, Kathy Wade seemed to be at the center of John’s world. While Kathy meant a lot
John's decision to commit suicide was the right thing to do to make Ann happy. John thought that killing himself would make it easier for her to stay with Steven, who he thinks that she loves. John made a decision about his own life so he has the right to choose to kill himself. He also just wants Ann to be happy. He is "naively proud of Ann. He had bewildered by it once, her caring for a dull-witted fellow like him: then assured al last of her affection he had relaxed against it gratefully, unsuspecting it might ever be less constant than his own." (Pg.49) In John's mind he was making the right decision, so he was free to make it.
When we discovered John’s body the following morning after he had left my house I couldn’t bring myself to believe that he had gotten lost in the blizzard. I know this blizzard was a bad one, we haven’t had one like that for quiet a while, but still John knows this land better than anyone. I really started to think that there was more to his death than a directional mishap. Just the location and direction his body was found in was enough alone to lead it to be suspicious.
The narrator is trying to get better from her illness but her husband “He laughs at me so about this wallpaper” (515). He puts her down and her insecurities do not make it any better. She is treated like a child. John says to his wife “What is it little girl” (518)? Since he is taking care of her she must obey him “There comes John, and I must put this away, he hates to have me write a word”. The narrator thinks John is the reason why she cannot get better because he wants her to stay in a room instead of communicating with the world and working outside the house.
It is clear that in their marriage, her husband makes her decisions on her behalf and she is expected to simply follow blindly. Their relationship parallels the roles that men and women play in marriage when the story was written. The narrator’s feelings of powerlessness and submissive attitudes toward her husband are revealing of the negative effects of gender roles. John’s decision to treat the narrator with rest cure leads to the narrator experiencing an intense feeling of isolation, and this isolation caused her mental decline. Her descent into madness is at its peak when she grows tears the wallpaper and is convinced that “[she’s] got out at last, in spite of [John] and Jennie… and [they] can’t put her back!”
Love, trust, and respect are all essentials in maintaining a great committed relationship. Kathy did not seem to respect and love John, and even her own son, Adam, so she just left them without a little notice of the way she was truly feeling about their entire situation. John and Kathy knew that they needed to sacrifice their lives a lot because of their son Adam, Kathy seemed to not be able to deal with all these changes which resulted in her leaving her family, thankfully even though it was not easy, John was able to do it all on his
John Wade is an odd character in this novel as he goes through dramatic shifts in his life. Before the My Lai uncovering, John was seen as a respectable guy. He was physical attractive, had a “beautiful woman” (21) as his wife and he was polished. Behind all that though was something, disturbing to say the least. John would “wake up in the middle of the night screaming sometimes” (29). This was an indication that there were problems he was dealing with, and he was. John's depressing childhood and horrors of the My Lai incident eventually consumed him. John's childhood was rough because he had an abusive father which evidently, has s...
...ssion and intrusiveness. John’s lack of having an open mind to his wife’s thoughts and opinions and his constant childish like treatment of his wife somehow emphasizes this point, although, this may not have been his intention. The narrator felt strongly that her thoughts and feelings were being disregarded and ignored as stated by the narrator “John does not know how much I really suffer. He knows there is no reason to suffer, and that satisfies him” (Gilman 115), and she shows her despise of her husband giving extra care to what he considers more important cases over his wife’s case with a sarcastic notion “I am glad my case is not serious!” (Gilman 115). It is very doubtful that John is the villain of the story, his good intentions towards doing everything practical and possible to help his wife gain her strength and wellbeing is clear throughout the story.
Even though her husband treats her with what seem at first as love, it becomes clear she is nothing more to him than a piece of property. Every time he talks to her, he asks her to get better for his sake and the children's, and only after mentions hers interests. He doesn't think that she has any normal human feelings or worries and attributes her behavior to minor nervous depression. He doesn't see her true suffering since he believes "there is no reason to suffer" (574). He could never understand that a woman can be unsatisfied with the role imposed on her by society. Even though the heroine recognizes that her condition is caused by something other than John's theory, she is too scared to voice her opinion.
After finishing killing the plants, he walked into their bedroom. He watched Kathy sleep. He wanted to kiss her awake, but instead, took his tea kettle full of boiling water and poured it over her. John was not in the correct state of mind. He felt compelled to kill someone, something. The plants just were not enough. John poured the boiling water over Kathy’s eyes first and the steam come out of her. Next, he picked her up and took her to the boathouse. He put her in the boat and pushed her into the lake. John tipped the boat so that water began to come in, and sink the boat. He drowned his beautiful wife. One of the main reasons this seems incredibly plausible is because there is a period of time where John remembers brushing Kathy’s hair back and tucking her into bed, and then the next thing he can remember is being underwater. “He would remember smoothing her hair….At another point he found himself completely submerged, lungs like stone, an underwater rush in his ears” (page
why John attacks Jane and hates her so badly is the fact that in the
For John’s case, he seems to not fit in with the people of the World State society. People of the World State see John as somewhat of an outsider. Lenina took soma and tried to seduce John but he ends up slapping her and calling her a whore. Then John goes to visit his mother but while at the hospital he is insulted by a group of “Bokanovsky” boys because they called Linda fat and ugly and he hits one of the boys. Shortly after John’s mother dies and he rushes out of the ward. After rushing out of the ward he comes across a group of Deltas that were getting their soma. Now that John is not disgusted and angry at the World State society he riots and throws the soma out of the window. The Deltas become angry and start to riot as well. It got to a point where the police had to come and spray soma vapor and anesthetics over everybody in order to calm everybody down. In the end John secludes himself from the World State and moves to a lighthouse. At the lighthouse he punishes himself by whipping himself because he felt that he was contaminated and needed to cleanse. Many people came to watch John whip himself and everybody started to sing “Orgy-porgy”. The next morning John woke up and realized that he took part in the one thing that he despised. After remembering everything that happened the night before, he hung himself inside the lighthouse. John does not fit into this society at large. His views are
