In the Short story do yellow wallpaper there is a main character that The author really relates to. The Arthur went through what The main character went through our though some of it is far-fetched. Gilman once had mental health problems so by writing this story she expressed what happened to her when she had suffered from depression and was put on the rest cure. The story talks about how the women were treated in my era and have a man had most of the Authority and how doctors really didn’t know what to do when he came to mentally ill women. Charlotte Perkins Gilman The yellow wallpaper shows the late 19 century society where women don’t get treated the same as a man, when men have all the power it seems unbearable to the point that when a woman is immensely Gail she isn’t taking care of properly.            

In the late 19 century this is an error of time where it would seem Gothic in Johnson’s article talks about the Gothic theme. In the 19 century it was a time of confinement, rebellion, fear also repressive male even a time of imaginative. This into plays a big role in this story because it’s when they didn’t have what we have today and knowing what we know today. When talking about being confined in the yellow wallpaper the main character was forced to stay in a room by A repressive male the husband. The main character is rebelling against the husband by turning down the wallpaper writing and trying to get out the room she was forced to stay in. There is also fear from the main character she fears that has me that’s why she writes secretly of fear of what he might do there is even fear of her own sanity. Although Gilman uses her own experiences in the story that she wrote she makes her main character know how to write She doesn’t do it is because the main character is a reflection of herself she does this so that the main character can I have another way of saving herself  to see and Reveal who she really is.

The husband in the yellow wallpaper would be the Repressive male this is who the main character is Fighting. In the 19 century the main character talks about her husband and says that her husband laughs at her and says this is expected in marriage. Only in that time were marriages expected to be one way where the male had all the power and the woman couldn’t do nothing but except that fact that the male was in charge. The husband was a well-known physician and thought he can handle his wives condition in the 19 century they didn’t know much about mental health they thought sleep could cure you so they prescribed you rest cure. As a well-known physician he had people that listen to him and there was another well known physician the main characters brother who both thought that the main character wasn’t sick. The main character enjoyed to write but she did secretly because of her husband want to call her writing he would’ve told her that it’s not healthy for you to write that she would have the rest more. The husband even went as far as threatening her to get better faster  by telling her he will send her to Weir Michell The doctor that the author went to when she was sick mentally ill. All of these examples show that the husband is a repressive of male having all of the power And the main character not having no control of her condition or herself which made her mental illness worse to the point of where the walls were talking to her so she peeled off all the wallpaper off the walls.

They are various reasons why mental health and medical care play a big role in the yellow wallpaper. In this era physicians had high status with the people and all the physician and this time we’re all male so and this era the males had the dominant and households and even In health care. In the yellow wallpaper The main character tells her husband that she feels like If she is able to write more and to get out in her garden that she will get better but the husband is a physician and he says that she has to stay inside the room and rest to get better. As we take a deeper look into the main characters mental illness she couldn’t even take care of her child because of how sick she is she mentions “and yet I cannot be with him, it makes me so nervous” this shows how the main characters mental illness prevented her from taking care of her own child. The yellow wallpaper shows how men have high authority and the main character is not getting better with just bedrest. 

In Beyond the yellow wallpaper there are reasons and examples that explains how mental health. The three main topics that Oakley mentions production, reproduction, and the medicalization of women distress. Oakley talks about production and how women have jobs that have to do with the house in that era women were house wife's they cleaned, cook, and take care of the child. Oakley also talks about reproduction women giving birth taking care of children and because women do the certain jobs women get looked at different because they were a stay-at-home wife to take care the kids. When talking about the medicalization of women distress the women get treated differently than men. When a men and women goes to the doctor and  have the same symptoms the women would receive a psychiatric diagnosis.  Oakley mentions that when man don't know what's going on with a woman  The doctor diagnoses in the morning with a mental or medical problem because they don’t understand what’s going on. Want to dog that doesn’t understand why I woman is gone through they diagnosed him but when a woman is going through is something that is common to go to a woman and a doctors turn something that’s common into a medical problem. My turning something that is common to a woman and to a medical problem it is telling the woman that she is normal and what she’s going through is not ok to be lime this it  represses women it causes her to not function right and in this era era the woman had to take care the house and the kids and when she couldn’t get this job done she got locked in a room. In that error era when women were treated differently for medical health in our time now women are still not treated  the same “ The medicationaztion of  unhappiness as depression is one of the greatest and disasters of the 20th century, and it is a disaster that has had, and still has, a very big impact on women.” This proves that not much has changed since the 19th century. 

 The yellow wallpaper the main character had went through so much and made her worse and worse each day in a room where she’s locked in with nothing but yellow wallpaper and a window with bars on. The main characters condition seemed common at first but her husband that I allowed her to do much so with nothing to do no one to talk to you in a room all day  her imagination went wild. The main character went from riding to herself to talking to herself  then seeing a woman in the yellow wallpaper. The main character stars to say “ there are Things in that wallpaper nobody knows but me, or never will” this shows that the woman’s behavior is reaching its height. The main characters mental health is getting worse and she starts to create her own reality in the wallpaper. The main character Imagine a woman in  wallpaper creeping around the room and in the garden right now the main characters and mental state is severe. The main character leaves the woman that’s in the wallpaper is trapped so she tries to help her by tearing down the wallpaper and at the same time trying to control her own mental health. After tearing down the wallpaper the main character  begins to act like the woman she described in the wallpaper it’s almost as if she’s possessed by the woman she saw in the wallpaper creeping and crawling all over the room. The main character mental state has gotten worse because of the wrong care and she needs proper medical care to treat her mental illness so that she becomes better again.

The main character writes to relieve stress it helps her maintain her madness and it is a way of escape for her. The husband forbid his wife from doing any work until she gets better but the wife didn't feel the same way thought doing things like work would be helpful. The wife wrote anyways even though her husband did not want her to write but she wrote secretly and when her husband came around she would hide her writings. In Johnson’s articles he agrees that “ An experienced writer, she understands the healing power which inheres in the act of writing and recognizes intuitively that her physician husband’s rest cure can lead only to her psychic degeneration” (Johnson 527). What Johnson is saying is that writing will help and being on bed rest would make her worse and it also shows how women don't get the right treatment or advice it also shows how man have all the control for make her half bed rest. 

In king and Morris article they have really valid description of the yellow wallpaper. They mention that this story is a survival and it's almost like the main character is writing to survive “I think sometimes that if I were only well enough to write a a little it would relieve The press of ideas and rest me” this proves that she is writing to survive and the rest cure provided by her husband that position physician and other men in her life may not be the best medical device for her.  The main character writes to herself and she writes so no one reads what writes it she calls it dead paper it is because she I forbidden to even write that the reason it's dead paper. It is imperative that she writes to herself to keep her alive. The main character misreads the wallpaper she is seeing another woman but in theory it could be herself. King and Morris says “we might begin to think of ourselves as texts which we ourselves write, but which are always in the metonymic process of Becoming” in a yellow wallpaper the main character writes about herself and is becoming what she writes about. The main character is becoming what she’s writing about but doesn’t know what she’s going to turn into or even who she is. This is the lack of individual she doesn’t have a name that once has her name being mentioned in the story or in the sources. 

In Beverly A Hume article Managing madness Hume talk about the main character in the yellow wallpaper controlling her madness but day by day get worse and worse then it finally consumes her. In the journey of the main characters mental health her husband who has all the control and say so puts her on the rest care. Hume use the word gender-biased and what Hume is trying to say is that the men has the control  because he's a men he knows what's good for you and not good for you. Hume says that the main character feels confined to just being in a box the social order that in this era things are one way how all women are to say our own lives and all men are the workers. Hume indicts the gender-biased of rest cure because Man control women being on the rest cure. The rest cure is a on effective medical treatment it doesn’t work because they isolate the person on rest cure and it only makes it worse. Hume also indicts mental illness because it’s a form of gender biased males decide Who is mentally ill or not and if you are mentally ill they decide what treatment you do. The main character showed How sick she was in beginning but as she continued her live it got worse. The main character shows us how the mail in her life has all the control over everything even her mental illness. As the story goes on the main character does it do I get a job and showing gender bias because. As she decisions in her madness I’ll she’s doing is making her husband right about her being locked in a room and being on rest cure. Hume examples by saying “Gilman’s narrator was a part so completely in the end that she tends, unfortunately, to reinforce The common 19th century gender stereotype of the emotionally and physically frail 19 century woman” (Hume,12).  In that century all women or thought of as fragile and emotional so women were treated as a second-class citizen And the main character in the yellow wallpaper fault against being thought as one of those women but she couldn't quite do that because she let her madness take over. Overall the main characters condition went from bad to worse because of the solitude of the male gender biased, mental health, and Hume’s article proved that.  

When Gilman writes the yellow wallpaper she wrote this story based off her own experiences. Gilman had a similar condition like the main character in the story she was suffering from nervousness and depression. Gilman went to a specialist and got the same treatment the main character in the story got the rest cure. A couple months one pass when Gilman was on the rescuer and had gotten worse so she left her husband move and start a writing career  And wrote the yellow wallpaper and sent her story to the specialist she went to. She found out later in life that the specialist she sent her story to changed The way he treated his patients. Give me and showed that by telling her story and coming forth that you can change plenty. This is important and this society today because coming clean about your own experiences on health and illness will help to better the other people who had or have the same problem you have or had (Oakley 32). Gilman the narrator in the main character all come clean by writing what happened to them. In Johnson's article he talks about the importance of writing he says that being an writer she understands writing has healing powers. In Kings and Morrises article they also talk about the importance of writing they say that we write our own stories and that we can become a different person that is good or bad. All of these stories and articles have several thing in common such ass dealing with mental illness and medical care control of male domination and most of all the importance of telling your story. It is important for you to tell your story because it is the only way you can change the way women are treated the control of male domination and getting better mental health and medical care.

In the late 19th century women don’t get treated equally with the man the man have The domination women that have mental illnesses don’t get treated properly and it makes them become worse than what they were. The yellow wallpaper is an example of women’s oppression. The main characters husband was a physician had full control of her life and her medical care Which shows a male domination. In the yellow wallpaper mental health and medical care was controlled by men physicians of high standard and this man that the man made all the decisions when I came up to the health even if they didn’t know what was wrong with the woman so she wouldn’t get the right treatment. The main character in the eye wall paper went from OK to really bad in the beginning she seems like she was handling the problem well but towards the end she started to break down and couldn’t function right which made the husband look right all along but it also meant she didn’t get treated properly. In the story the yellow wallpaper what played a big role was when the main character was writing to her self and gave her a sense of relief and it helped her for a while and only if she could’ve and was allowed to right  without secrecy She might of been ok. All of these articles and stories shared a lot of common purposes male domination mental health and medical care also the point of telling your own story and changing society.
