'Paranoia In The Yellow Wallpaper'

In the story yellow wallpaper the characters stayed at a big eerie mansion, took place mostly upstairs in a nursery for little kids. The tone I got from the story was mostly paranoia and very shy. In addition the mood is very dark and ominous because of the yellow wallpaper and bars on the windows, which acted like the character was imprisoned in the room. The protagonist in the story would be narrator because she was the character that fought through all the struggles. The antagonist of the story was John because he was always telling the narrator what to do. The story was trying to tell me about subordination of women. There were many conflicts in the story but one of them was the women being subjected the demands of men in society. One

example of figurative language was “The lines run across the wall until they cominit suicide.” The point of view was 1st person because she was using the words i and me. The irony in the story was that John was a physician but the girl was not getting better. Symbolism in the story was the women being in the nursery because she was being treated like a child.
