Analysis of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper”
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses the haunting short story “The Yellow Wallpaper,” written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935), is both a feminist exploration of the ways in which women of Gilman’s time were limited to a very narrow definition of what was socially acceptable for them and a declaration of realism regarding the inherent damage done to women because of those limitations. The report takes the position that the narrator prefers insanity to the layers of confinement she experiences at the hands of her husband. No additional sources.

Anne Tyler/Women & Social Isolation
[ send me this essay ]
A 9 page essay that discusses Anne Tyler's novels Celestial Navigation and Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant. Anne Tyler's novels have been described as "songs written in the key of hardship" (Patrick 24). In many of Tyler's narratives, her female protagonists are isolated, divorced from the company of other women, which denies them the sort of social support that women draw on from each other. In Tyler's novels, also, mothers are seldom resources for daughters. They are frequently out of touch with who their daughters are and are too caught up in their own emotional needs to tend to those of their children. Daughters who are raised by such mothers find that they, likewise, have no emotional resources on which to draw to nourish their own children and the cycle perpetuates itself. Furthermore, the women's emotional isolation prevents them from developing any sort of true intimacy with the men in their lives. These isolated, emotionally-starved women find themselves primarily in their situations due to breakdowns in communication, as well as misplaced assumptions about what is important in life. This pattern of development is particularly clear in Tyler's novels Celestial Navigation and Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
