I finished my analysis
of The Yellow Wallpaper and it’s high
time to finish work with my blog. Truth
be told, I have never thought that it is such an interesting thing. I am very
grateful for our teacher and course of “Stylistics” for that great opportunity. We’ve made a big
deal.
Frankly speaking, I’ve changed my impressions
after making a deep analysis of the story. I can say for sure that Charlotte
Perkins Gilman is an excellent writer. There
are so many hidden and unimportant elements to the first sight.And now, no matter what kind of book I read, I
try to pay attention to all the details, to all expressive means and stylistic
devices.
In order to describe the setting, reveal the idea
and render the general atmosphere of the passage vividly and convincingly the
author of the analysed passage resorts to some expressive means and stylistic
devices.One
should say that Charlotte Perkins Gilman brilliantly uses lexical means to
describe in a precise way the events of “The Yellow Wallpaper” and to create
vivid images.It
must be noted that almost every paragraph of “The Yellow Wallpaper” sounds
ironically. We can here find situational, dramatic and verbal irony. In the story we cam find:
epithets, metaphors, repetitions, personifications, similes, parallel
constructions, polysyndeton, anaphora, asyndeton, gradation, exclamatory
sentences, rhetorical sentences, parenthesis, antithesis, parallelisms, alliteration,
assonances, and emphatic constructions.
