A standout amongst the fascinating parts of
"Yellow Wallpaper" and "The Story of an Hour" that are
available in both short stories is the perspective of ladies through the eyes
of a specialist. Considering that in the nineteenth-century specialists were
overwhelmingly men, we can presume that Gilman and Chopin's both planned to
express male's general view on ladies through the eyes of their specialists.
The storyteller of "Yellow Wallpaper" is hitched to a specialist, who
puts her, however, a "rest cure" since she is experiencing postnatal
discouragement. Rest cure is a famous type of treatment at the time, and it
requests finish confinement of a patient from any physical or mental movement.
It has demonstrated to chip away at men; be that as it may, there hasn't been
any review on the distinction in brain science between the genders and the
effect of lay cure on females (Hamilton 212). What's more, as a man, the
storyteller's better half can't comprehend the purposes behind her condition
because of the restriction of his sex, so he composes it off as something
inconsequential and senseless. His remedy demonstrates inadequate, as well as
unsafe to his better half's emotional wellness.
Louise of "The Story of an Hour" is
additionally a casualty of misdiagnosis, however in a somewhat extraordinary
manner. In the finale of the story, after Louise passes on of a heart
disappointment, the specialists presume that it more likely than not been the
surprising joy and help of seeing her better half alive that murdered her (Chopin
353). In any case, the reader who gets an opportunity to investigate the
private considerations of the character preceding the episode may see a totally
extraordinary picture. Similarly, the specialist's presume that Louise's
condition is the aftereffect of her devotion to her better half. Obviously, the
reader knows better. In his investigation of "The Story of an Hour",
Mark Cunningham expresses that he trusts that Louise Mallard can't deal with
the acknowledgment of flexibility, and this mind-boggling feeling kills her
(Cunningham, 49).
From looking at these parts of the short stories,
the reader can most likely decipher Gilman and Chopin's own perspectives on
marriage and female parts in the general public. Both Louise and the
"Yellow Wallpaper" storyteller are caught in a marriage. All things
considered, it doesn't imply that they are mishandled or despondent with their
spouses. At the point when Louise's better half probably passes on in a
prepared wreck, she really wants to insanely cry, and her feelings are honest
to goodness. When we see her understand her opportunity, she is scared at the
principal considered it (Cunningham, 51). She reviews her significant other with
delicate words, yet the possibility of living for herself for whatever is left
of her life, unhindered by her mate's desires, fills her with delight.
On the off chance that we take a gander at the
"Yellow Wallpaper", there is no sign of contention between the
storyteller and her better half. John is depicted as binding to the moment that
he begins treating his significant other like a young lady. However, she
scrutinizes his expulsion of her apprehensions as outcomes of insanity, and his
refusal to give her a chance to involve herself with any movement. She
questions his treatment of her melancholy, and subtly opposes it by keeping a
journal. The storyteller comprehends what is best for her and what might
brighten her up, yet she takes after her better half's direction quite recently
like the general public trusts she should. This inconsistency between what the
lady might want to do and what she is compelled to do in her marriage makes the
strain that in the end pulverizes her.
