The Necklace, The Story of An Hour, and The Yellow Wallpaper

The Necklace

• I really did enjoy this short story. It was a clear a story, and I understood it. It had irony in the end of the story. You could look at Femenism in this story because the wife plays the "traditional" role of how it was back when this story was written. She also is very worried about her apperance which is like today's women. We are trying to impress people with how we look.  
• This story is about a poor husband and wife. She is invited to go to a ball, but she wants to look nice. She asks for money from her husband, and he gives her some. She also wants jewelry too, but the husband will not pay for jewelry. He tells her to go to Mme who has plently of jewelry. She borrows a beautiful diamond necklace, but by the end of the night she loses it. The wife is so worried she tries to find the same exact one. She does, but it is worth a lot. She buys it anyways, but now the family is in debt. It takes them years to get out of debt, but they eventually do. Mme is very sick and old, and that is when the wife confesses what she had done. Mme replies saying hers was fake, and it wasn't worth as much as they paid for.

The Story of An Hour

• You could look at this story from feminism. She obviously was over powered by her husband and that is why she wasn't too sad that he died. He control her which was like a typical woman back then.
• Louise is married to Bently. Everyone believes he died in a train accident, and they want to tell Louise in a nice way because she has a heart condition. She takes the news hard, but she only cries and stares out the window. She also is happy because she is now single and ready to live her life for herself not for anyone else.They eventually tell her to come downstairs, and she sees her husband. She is so happy by seeing him that she has a heart attack and dies. She also could've been sad to see him that is why she died.

The Yellow Wallpaper

• This is an ok story. It was a weird mind twisting story. It is a creepy story, but actually decent. This goes with psychological theory. Her ego is telling her that the wallpaper is bad, and it makes her nervous. She also believes there is a person that lives in the wallpaper, so that goes a long with her mind. She has a disorder, so this explains a lot of why she believes this way. This story is all about the mind and how it plays with the authors conciousness.
•  The author of the story has post partum depression, and her husband is her doctor. She believes her house is "haunted." She sleeps in a room that has yellow wallpaper, and it makes her very nervous to be there. She wants to change rooms, but the husbands decides its better to stay there because she will just find something else to be nervous about later. She is slowly becoming crazy.The yellow wallpaper takes over her mind, and she believes there are people that live in the wallpaper that only come out at night. She believes that creep on her. In the end, her husband finds her tearing down the wallpaper because she believes she is trapped behind the wallpaper and a creeper. The husband ends up fainting.
