Examine the narrator from either "The Yellow Wallpaper" or "A & P." What does the narrator reveal about him or herself indirectly? What sort of transformation, if any, does the narrator experience during the course of the story?
1) This was one of the most interesting things we’ve read so far this semester. I liked reading to find out how things would turn out in the end and why this wallpaper bothers her so much. Even though it was extremely confusing for me I seemed to pick up the summary of the story, which I very much enjoyed.
2) This woman felt as though she had a sickness of some sort, which I believed to be the insanity she was having after her husband suppressed her. After being locked in for so long her imagination which is really her insanity kicks in the moving of the walls and the women behind them. Her husband would not allow her to write or do many things she wished to do. She was no longer following a normal society schedule; she was living her life in darkness. The wallpaper bothered her at first but seemed to be an interest to her as the story went on. This woman had a mental problem that no one was addressing, except her husband who kept brushing it off as nothing more than a tiny problem that he thought could be fixed secluding her. The women was trapped not only by her husband but her mind as well.
