She wasn’t being listened to and was just being thought for.

# data[].attributes.body
She was seen as lesser by her husband who probably values women lower than men

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of times people’s own knowledge of their mental health isn’t listened to

# data[].attributes.body
She removes the wallpaper and her husband faints. Because of her behavior at the end, it seems like being isolated by John for so long has negatively affected her mentally so the reader can’t know for sure whether or not it is trustworthy.

# data[].attributes.body
Individuals with mental health issues are often dismissed and ignored without being listened to

# data[].attributes.body
She was valued less by her husband with a misogynistic mindset

# data[].attributes.body
In society she was pictured as it was just a phase, it was just a mood swing. Women were seen as weaker then men.

# data[].attributes.body
She tears down the walls and locks her self in the room and her husband Faints. We can’t because after being locked up for so long she became unhinged in a way

# data[].attributes.body
People's mental health is often invalidated by society

If the main character was a man, his issue would've been treated more seriously.

# data[].attributes.body
Both are locked away by the men in their life who come to the conclusion that they are incapable of full independence due to their supposed mental issues

# data[].attributes.body
They were both trapped and monitored and a lot of their physical mobility was restricted or instructed by someone else

In terms of perspective, this is from the perspective of someone who is suffering from this mental health abuse and back then there was no support group to help these people. Noone was fighting on the behalf of the "mentally ill", there were more people fighting with it then against it.

# data[].attributes.body
They're both treated as lunatics and not getting the proper help/treatment that they deserve.

# data[].attributes.body
In modern times, the viewpoint of mental health has gotten better, but it still is somewhat looked down upon.

# data[].attributes.body
the narrators story is similar to brittney in the way that they both have no control over their lives as that power has been taken away from them. for the narrator it is by her husband who is keeping her in a room that she cannot leave until she is "better" and for brittney it was her father controlling her legally

“And I know John would think it tonic and thing to say nothing of ale- and wine and rare meat”

she wasn't really listened to, everything she said was just disregarded

"If a physician of high standing, and one's own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression - a slight hysterical tendency - what is one to do?"

# data[].attributes.body
No one listened to what she had to say

# data[].attributes.body
There isn't enough detail to know what's truly happening; whether it was a hallucination or real, and the story is vague / feels incomplete

# data[].attributes.body
I think we can trust it. As someone who wants to study mental health, the mind essentially controls your body. The feeling of being locked in a room essentially a prison can lead you to becoming crazy. The reason why solitary confinement patients are depicted as deranged and "unhinged" is the simple being of being locked up. The ending has many different ways you can look at it, my way of looking at it is the wife who has developed ptsd and is calling for help. Would I trust her with my personal belongings and such, no. Would I trust her story telling, yes.

# data[].attributes.body
Both are stories where women are being controlled by men, and their mental health is being completely disregarded

# data[].attributes.body
In this time period men had overall more power than women, and when issues like metal health came up women had to "fix it" so much more difficultly.

# data[].attributes.body
Both are trapped and have some making decisions for them

# data[].attributes.body
They are both similar in the way of both Britney and the Narrator's story capture them being trapped by society/families own outlook on mental health, albiet it being negative.

# data[].attributes.body
she "realizes" that the woman trapped inside the wallpaper is herself so by tearing the wallpaper off, she's setting herself free. the narrator's mental health hasn't gotten better since she was in the nursery room so we can't say for sure that what happened is the true ending

# data[].attributes.body
they're both being controlled by men in their life

“ he said I wasn't able to go, nor" able to stand it after I got there and I did not make out a very good case for myself, for I was crying before I had finished “

"John does not know how much I really suffer. He knows there is no reason to suffer, and that satisfies him. Of course it is only nervousness."

"I beg you, for my sake and for our child's sake, as well as your own that you will never for one instant let that idea enter your mind! the is nothing so dangerous, so fascinating, to a temperament like yours. it is a false and foolish fancy. can you not trust me as a physician when I tell you so?" pg 552

"There is one marked peculiarity about this paper, a thing nobody seems to notice but myself, and that is that it changes as the light changes. "

# data[].attributes.body
That depression shouldn't be suppressed and lock away

# data[].attributes.body
i”t is a very bad habit I am convinced,.
for you see I don't sleep.
And that cultivates deceit, for I don't
tell them I'm awake “

# data[].attributes.body
it kinda seems like she was being hidden away and that's what a lot of people do, they either hide their feelings or their family disregards their call for help

# data[].attributes.body
"He said I was his darling and his comfort and all he had, and that I must take care of myself for his sake, and keep well."

"John is practical in the extremes. He has no patience with faith an intense horror of superstitions and he scoffs openly at any talk of things not to be felt and seen and put down in figures. John is  a physician, and perhaps that is one reason I do not get well."

The yellow wall paper represents the media and how it might be a key to what could be a factor of

"But there is something else I about that paper -- the smell! I noticed it the moment we came into the room, but with so much air and sun it was not bad."

"Dear John! He loves me very dearly, and hates to have me sick. I tried to have a real earnest reasonable talk with him the other day, and tell him how I wish he would let me go and make a visit to Cousin Henry and Julia. But he said I wasn't able to go, nor able to stand it after I got there; and I did not make out a very good case for myself, for I was crying before I had finished."

# data[].attributes.body
I kept still and watched the moonlight on the undulating wallpaper till i felt creepy. The faint figure behind seemed to shake the pattern, just if she wanted to get out.

# data[].attributes.body
"He says no one but myself can help me out of it, that I must use my will and self-control and not let any silly fancies run away with me."

# data[].attributes.body
I see the story more of a symbol that the wallpaper is the husbands domesticate abuse and as the husband falling to the ground it's a sense of freedom away from his domestication. It's just a big symbol that the women is free from the constant abuse and gas lighting.

# data[].attributes.body
"There comes John, and I must put this away, he hates to have me write a word."

"The front pattern does move - and no wonder! The woman behind shakes it! Sometimes I think there are a great many women behind, and sometime only one, and she crawls around fast, and her crawling shakes it all over."

# data[].attributes.body
"But here I can creep smoothly on the floor, and my shoulder just fits in that long smooch around the wall, so I cannot lose my way."

# data[].attributes.body
"I don't like our room a bit. I wanted one downstairs that opened on the piazza and had roses all over the window, and such pretty old-fashioned chintz hang-ings! but John would not hear of it."

# data[].attributes.body
"Now why should that man have fainted? But he did, and right across my path by the wall, so that I had to creep over him every time!"

# data[].attributes.body
I compare them as that Britney and the women in the 'Yellow wall paper' are similar because I sense that they were both trapped to be suppressed from their illness. It made each women think it's an easy fix to their problems.

# data[].attributes.body
The main character does go crazy which makes her become an unreliable narrator towards the end. from slowly forming an obsession with the wallpaper and the wanting to keep the wallpaper to herself to protect others from looking at it. she seems better physically later but is relatively the same if not worse because of the wallpaper. which affects how trust worthy she is as a storyteller

# data[].attributes.body
Her husband, who undoubtedly views women well below males, has treated her as a second-class citizen.

# data[].attributes.body
It seemed as if she was being hidden away, which is something that many people do; they either hide their sentiments or their family ignores their pleas for aid.

# data[].attributes.body
John passes out, she rips down the walls and confines herself in the room. We can't because she went crazy after being locked up for so long.

# data[].attributes.body
Both are stories about women who are ruled by males and whose mental health is completely ignored.
