Cornelia is watching as her brave and independent woman is slowly fading away, mentally and physically. "She was never like this, never like this" (Porter, 517). Cornelia tells the doctor worried as she sees her mother's capacity diminishing. Granny hears this and is spiteful towards Cornelia. Granny has had a hard life and that has made her very independent. For eighty years Granny has taken care of herself, she remembers, and tells herself, "I pay my own bills, and I don't throw my money away on nonsense" (516) and now to have people coming in her room checking in on her, taking about her is unfamiliar and condescending to her.

Simply put, John treats his wife as if she were a child. Without listening to her feelings or concerns he is quick to diagnose and treat her for her mental and emotional ailments. It is worth noting that a few pages in, John begins to call her pet names such as “darling”, “dear”, and most notably “little girl” (Gilman 95).

“The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a compelling story about a women with depression who is forced to undergo extreme bedrest, and because of this, becomes insane. Many would analyze the story and conclude that the purpose of writing it was to tell about a woman who becomes mad, or to portray the medical treatment of women in earlier times. Although this may be the case, it seems that the real reason for writing the story was to reveal the criticism of marriage and the oppression of women. The years prior to the story were ones known for women’s suffrage. Gilman’s purpose was to reveal the low standards of women in that time, even though they were not directly described in the story.

Overall, I think the research topic and questions you identified jumped too further and faster from your summary.

When Rain Clouds Gather by Bessie Head shows the beginning of a cultural and agricultural movement in Botswana during the 1960s. It all begins with Makhaya fleeing from his Zulu tribe in South Africa to Botswana and eventually finding refuge in Golema Mmidi. He goes to Botswana looking purely for freedom from traditional tribal life and instead finds more culture, family, and agriculture. Because the narrative flips between perspectives, readers understand Botswana life for outsiders and insiders alike. With such a detailed explanation of Botswana and South African lifestyles, it’s surprising to find all of them true. Her attention to factual details caused Golema Mmidi - a fictional place - to feel realistically utopian. Makhaya originally stayed in Golema Mmidi, despite his initial desires for peace because of the agriculture which later caused him to accept the cultural, familial, and communal traditions he initially ran away from.

In When Rain Clouds Gather, Bessie Head highlights her different life experiences that led to her move to another country, Botswana. She shares her experiences through Makhaya, the protagonist of the novel. The decision to move across the South African borders is a result of the search for the 'self', identity and personal freedom. It is symbolic in the sense that it also refers to the move away from autocracy to democracy and human freedom. We learn about the kind of suffering Makhaya endures by observing his interactions and the exchanges with various characters throughout the novel. For the purpose of this essay, I will focus on Makhaya’s suffering and trauma, as well as the healing that occurs when he arrives in Golema Mmidi. I will begin by describing the kind of suffering Makhaya endures when in South Africa, and will then go on to reflect on the role that other characters play in assisting Makhaya in his process of recovery, by focusing on how the themes of suffering and healing are explored through these characters.
