Both texts were published in the era of 1890. During 29, 1890: the artist Vincent Van Gogh died in France at the age of 37 after shooting himself two days earlier. This may have inspired The Picture Of Dorian Gray as Basil is an artist who also dies as a result.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman uses her short story “The Yellow Wall-Paper” to show how women undergo oppression by gender roles. Gilman does so by taking the reader through the terrors of one woman’s changes in mental state. The narrator in this story becomes so oppressed by her husband that she actually goes insane. The act of oppression is very obvious within the story “The Yellow Wall-Paper” and shows how it changes one’s life forever.

One similarity between the two works is the that we are limited on where we get our information. Gilman’s short story “The Yellow Wallpaper,” we see everything through the eyes of the narrator. The entire story is told from her secret diary when she has the time to write as shown in the line, “I did write for a while in spite of them; but it does exhaust me a good deal-having to be so sly about it” (Gilman 527). Due to this, we can only make assumptions based on the information we get from her. She tells us she is in “A colonial mansion, a hereditary estate” (Gilman 526) and that she stays in “a big, airy room…It was a nursery first and then a playroom and gymnasium” (Gilman 527). However, once we reach the end of the story, with the

The chosen interpretation rests on how the narrator’s character is analyzed through her hidden thoughts and concerns. In the following paragraphs, we’ll look at how the author, Gilman, uses indirect characterization to reveal the narrator’s character through emphasis on the narrator’s thoughts.

In these short stories, Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” and Olsen’s “I Stand Here Ironing”, each have common situation about mental illness towards self, family, and even with outside of world-society. Different people handle struggles in different ways. In all the stories, freedom was taken away in one way or another. Both were struggling with inner conflicts about comforting to other people’s wants or needs. The characters in both stories hand to deal with abandonment in some form. All dealt with emotional and mental abuse. Both woman and daughter found their own way of escaping from conforming to what other people thought they should do.

This essay will describe the models of abuse and compare them; there has been some controversy over these and this will be lightly discussed.

Criminal punishments and victimization cause people to become more helpless after the matter, and they are often unable to leave their past behind them. Unfortunately, there is a pattern shown that often times race, the area in which a person lives, and social status of a criminal and the victim are taken into consideration when deciding on punishment for a crime. This can lead to discrimination playing a role in the decision making which is unfair. African Americans and Hispanics are more likely to be searched, questioned, or apprehended by a law enforcement officer than whites.
