The Yellow Wallpaper

2) Explain the relationship between the narrator and her husband, John. How this relationship affects the narrator?

Narrator has difficult relationship with her husband John. John never understands her and he didn't let her to do anything. When the narrator asked her husband to take off the wall papers and “ he laughs at me so about this wall - paper.”  John thought that she is being overwhelmed that there is nothing in this wall paper but she sees weird figures in this painting that give her a “suicidal thoughts. “ Most of the time John tried to be nice to the narrator but most of the time he doesn't look at the narrator as his wife but as his patient. He told her  not to write, work or talk to people outside “He say that with my imaginative power and habit of  story-making, a nervous weakness like mine is sure to lead to all manner of excited fancies,”The narrator has to hid her writing from her husband John because she doesn't want him to be upset or get angry. He usually gets angry when she do thing that he told her not to do. Narrator relationship with her husband is like a doctor and a patient. John take good care of the narrator but throughout the  description that the narrator give it there were no sign of love from John to narrator. She spends days alone writing and thinking about things that not even there. As the lady that she saw on that yellow wall paper.    



      The way narrator husband John treated her make her feel alone. She couldn't say anything to him because she feel thankful for things he does for her:" he takes all care from me, and so I feel basely ungrateful not to value it ·more." This feeling of thankfulness toward John for taking care of her while she sick with nerves depression.She does everything he told her, but there is one thing she does that John doesn't want her to do, she writes. She thinks that : " congenial work, with excitement and change, would do me good" would make her to feel better because she has something to do, and not only sit in the nursery room and look through the window. In writing she can express her feelings about the house because John doesn't want to listen her He things that narrator imagine things that not there.John was always away so she had no one to talk to and even when he is back he doesn't want to listen things that she said. He only care about her health, but he didn't realized that in order for her to get better she need to talk to some one. That why she begin to see those shadows or as she called "ghost on the yellow wall-paper." In the end she went insane.

"The Fall of the House of Usher"

                                                            Paraphrase

DURING the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country; and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher. I know not how it was; but, with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit. I say insufferable; for the feeling was unrelieved by any of that half-pleasurable, because poetic, sentiment, with which the mind usually receives even the sternest natural images of the desolate or terrible. I looked upon the scene before me—upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain—upon the bleak walls—upon the vacant eye-like windows—upon a few rank sedges—and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees—with an utter depression of soul which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveler upon opium—the bitter lapse into every-day life—the hideous dropping off of the veil. There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart—an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime. What was it—I paused to think—what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of Usher? It was a mystery all insoluble; nor could I grapple with the shadowy fancies that crowded upon me as I pondered.
