From the Paper:

"The short story "The Yellow Wall Paper" by Charlotte Perkins portrays feminine life in the 19th century, and revolves around patriarchal domination over women. The story revolves around a woman and her husband John, who live in an upper middle class household. John is controlling and domineering over his wife, as she cannot even have the slightest say in how the house is maintained. This is the patriarchal formulation that is created by Perkins, which forecasts the dimensions of insanity in the narrator's behavior. She is, however, aware of the alarming sense of controllers that her husband commands over her within the household."
