My predictions about the story and the result

Frankly speaking, I haven't ever heard about this American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman. But I like it and after getting acquainted with her biography I understood that her stories are really worth reading for all the women.

 Speaking about «The Yellow Wallpaper", the first idea that struck my head was that a person wants to renovate his or her room and we are going to read about the whole process. A yellow color is one's favorite and he decided to make a whole room in this color. After starting reading, I thought that I was right, because at the beginning the author told us about new house. However, as it turned out, I really missed the point.

Firstly, it was difficult for me to grasp the main idea of that short story. so I decided to read more about the author and her story. I found out that In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” Gilman uses the conventions of the psychological horror tale to critique the position of women within the institution of marriage, especially as practiced by the “respectable” classes of her time. I can say that it is an ironic story. It tells us about an American family. This family was compelled to leave a family estate for the period of repair of their apartment. The main character, John's wife, didn't like yellow wall-paper in their room very much which they made a bedroom. Wall-paper was coarse, their color was repellent, and the pattern induced to research and supervision; it seemed that something not so with this wall-paper. It made the main character crazy.

In the story violated the current topic of that time – women’s composure and causes of its displacement. Without a doubt, the story can be considered as autobiographical, leaving aside the ending. Truth be told, I was shocked a little of the methods of treating. It is a short story. Only 10 pages. But these are 10 pages that tell us about hopelessness, confusion, weakness, insult, madness and finally a kind of “freedom”…

Was it what I expected? No, but maybe after making deeper analysis, I will like it.
