Symptoms Of Disorder, By John Warns - 1988 Words

One of the most obvious, yet in the nineteenth century completely unrecognised and undiagnosed, reasons behind symptoms of supposed insanity would be post-natal depression. Gilmans narrator suffers from just this as she exclaims: ‘Such a dear baby! And yet I CANNOT be with him, it makes me so nervous’, conveying a certain disconnection with her son. The narrator feels her husband fails to understand her perspective: she is the complete opposite of her ‘public sphere’ husband who ‘is practical in the extreme†¦ and he scoffs openly at any talk of things not to be felt and seen and put down in figures’.

The pattern she sees on the wallpaper is a microcosm of society in which she, along with all women, is supressed of any desires other than those seen as etiquette.

The mental degradation is ambiguous however; it could be argued that this is only a stage of imaginative and possibly even physical freedom that the character is experiencing. Without this effect of insanity the change in status between John and the narrator would not have been possible because she would remain as subdued as she ever was. There is a similar revelation in ADH with Nora seemingly breaking away from Torvald’s restraints however, this time with a lack of mental illness. Nora’s realisation involves more of a conscious decision in the sense that her mind was not obscured by any mental illness; she finallyShow MoreRelatedOr phan Movie Rieview623 Words   |  3 Pagestheir baby and adopts a 9-year-old girl who is not nearly as innocent as she claims to be.
