Symbolism is well...Symbolism

Symbolism is a great factor in, The Yellow Wallpaper."Feminism is based on the assumption that woman have the same human, political, and social rights as men,"(Poetsforum.com). Feminism is a big part in the story because during the 19th century woman were trapped in marriage and in containment. They were allowed only what was given to them by their spouse. In the story, Gilman writes about how the wallpaper is moving and how there is a woman trapped in the wallpaper.  "The faint figure behind seemed to shake the pattern, just as if she wanted to get out. I got out up softly and went to feel and see if the paper did move, and when I came back John was awake."(Gilman p.6). She also begins to see other movements on the walkways of the house around the garden, but John discourages it throughout the story. When Gilman throws the key out the window and locked the door to her room, it shows that she has gone to the "dark side" of insanity (Gilamn p.10). She than latter goes off and walks around the body of her dear loved one, John,after she shows him a paper that makes him faint. She wanted to become part of the wallpaper and free the girl that was stuck in the wallpaper.
