Abstract
This paper discusses overprotective parenting and how parents who take their responsibilities too far and are overconcerened for their child's welfare can actually stifle the child's growth. This author takes an in-depth look at the causes and consequences of overprotective parenting, and examines a possible solution for the problem of overprotective parents.
From the Paper
"Children are so small and delicate when they are born that parents cannot help but feel protective of their little bundles of joy. Because they brought the child into the world, they feel that they must look out for him or her. This is a natural and healthy response to a new baby.
However, as the child grows, so does their need for independence. This is where the role of a parent gets tricky. Many parents take their guardian roles too far. They have the best intentions, in most cases, as they aim to shield their children from harm. However, they smother their child, preventing them from fulfilling their needs for freedom and growing up."

Abstract
The paper analyzes relationships between wives and husbands in Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" and between daughters and fathers in Plath's "Daddy". The paper discusses how, in both works, female speakers with mental illnesses try to overcome the influence of either an overpowering father or an overprotective husband in order to become more authentic, autonomous, adult selves. The paper concludes that patriarchal interference thwarts the female speaker's individuating process.
From the Paper
"The first-person narrator, and protagonist, of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" (whose name may actually be Jane) is an imaginative, creative, and (for those and other reasons) very frustrated upper-middle-class young woman. She yearns to write and be creative as she had before the story opens. Now, however, she is prohibited, by her neurologist; her well-meaning husband, and by association, society (i.e. patriarchy), from all imaginative or creative pursuits."

Abstract
The writer offers a background as to why Emily has such a domineering and seemingly eccentric nature. During her childhood she was overprotected by her extremely possessive and domineering father which prevented her from marrying. Emily becomes isolated from the rest of the town and she develops feelings of superiority over everyone else. Then she meets Homer and falls in love but cannot cope with the fact that he will not make a commitment to her and she kills him. Emily is mentally ill, but the powerful and cruel influences of these two men explains how she was led to murder Homer.
From the Paper
"Although Emily Grierson, the title character of William Faulkner's short story "A Rose for Emily" appears eccentric, strong willed, disturbed and demented, the reader still cannot help but wonder if some of the events in the story itself might also have contributed to her bizarre behavior, perhaps making it more justifiable, or at least more understandable.
"Emily has been born into a wealthy family, and overprotected by her extremely possessive and domineering father. She is sheltered far more than necessary, or normal. At 30, she is still single. During the period in which the story takes place, a thirty-year-old woman would have been an 'old maid'. This is no fault of Emily's, since young men do take interest in her in her youth. But all are forced away by her father. The core relationship between Emily and her father is symbolically described by Faulkner: "Miss Emily [is] a slender figure in white in the background, her father a straddled silhouette with foreground, his back to
her clutching a horsewhip..."(p. 33)"
