Annotations on my Sources
Hidetaka Kamo's article "To Be a Woman and To Be Mad: On Charlotte Perkins Gilman's 'The Yellow Wallpaper'" offers a nuanced examination of the themes of femininity and madness in Gilman's seminal work. Through a psychoanalytic lens, Kamo explores the protagonist's journey as she grapples with both her gender identity and her descent into madness within the confines of her domestic environment. The author delves into the societal expectations
placed upon women during the late 19th century and how these expectations contribute to the
French 2
protagonist's psychological unraveling. Kamo's analysis sheds light on the complex interplay between gender, mental health, and societal norms, inviting readers to reconsider the text's portrayal of patriarchal oppression and its impact on women's experiences. This source provides valuable insights that align with my research objective of analyzing "The Yellow Wallpaper" through a feminist and psychoanalytic perspective, challenging conventional interpretations and uncovering deeper layers of meaning within the text.
Next, Baruiz, Riobelle M., et al.'s article "GENDER OPPRESSION: THE YELLOW WALLPAPER BY CHARLOTTE PERKINS GILMAN" provides a focused examination of gender oppression as depicted in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's renowned work. Through a feminist
lens, the authors analyze the various forms of gender-based oppression experienced by the protagonist in "The Yellow Wallpaper" and their effects on her mental health and agency. Drawing on textual evidence and scholarly insights, Baruiz et al. explore themes of confinement,
domesticity, and the suppression of female autonomy within the patriarchal society of the late 19th century. The article offers valuable perspectives on how Gilman's narrative serves as a critique of societal norms and power structures, particularly those that perpetuate the marginalization of women. This source contributes to my research objective of analyzing "The Yellow Wallpaper" through a feminist perspective, highlighting the text's relevance to contemporary discussions on gender inequality and women's rights.
Lastly, Paula A. Treichler's article "Escaping the Sentence: Diagnosis and Discourse in ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’" offers a comprehensive analysis of the diagnostic and discursive frameworks present in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's seminal work. Through a critical examination of the protagonist's experience within the confines of her domestic space and interactions with medical professionals, Treichler explores how psychiatric diagnoses and societal discourse shape
the protagonist's perception of herself and her surroundings. The author delves into the ways in which language and power intersect, particularly in relation to gender and mental health, shedding light on the protagonist's struggle for autonomy and self-expression. Treichler's analysis challenges conventional interpretations of "The Yellow Wallpaper" and invites readers to reconsider the complexities of diagnosis, agency, and resistance within the text. This source provides valuable insights that align with my research objective of analyzing the intersections of gender, power, and mental health in Gilman's narrative, contributing to a deeper understanding of
the text's significance in feminist literature and discourse.
