“The Yellow Wallpaper”, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, is an account of a repressed woman in the late eighteen hundreds. This story allows the reader to confront the issues that plagued nineteenth century society in which women suffered because of their mental weaknesses. It is this mental weakness which ultimately leads to her downfall.

Topics of great social impact have been dealt with in many different ways and in many different mediums. Beginning with the first women’s movement in the 1850’s, the role of women in society has been constantly written about, protested, and debated. Two women writers who have had the most impact in the on-going women’s movement are Kate Chopin and Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The Awakening and The Yellow Wallpaper are two of feminist literature’s cornerstones and have become prolific parts of American literature. Themes of entrapment by social dictates, circumstance, and the desire for personal independence reside within each work and bond the two together.

In Shakespeare’s play the attire that Hamlet wears are likely from the 16th century. The clothes can be described as Elizabethan. Hamlet would most likely be seen in hosen. Hosen is a 16th century term for tights or hose. Men would also wear round hose. Round hose are pants cut above the knee. The hose is puffy or round, making the hip and thighs look full. Nobles would also be seen sporting doublets. This fashionable piece of garment is a tight fitting vest that laces up. On top of doublets noblemen, princes in Hamlet's ’case would wear a gown. The gown for a man is like a doublet; it just adds an extra layer. For an added piece Hamlet could wear a ruff. Ruffs are pleated white collars worn under their tops. Hamlet’s clothing in Shakespeare's version sets up his character. The moment hamlet enters the audience knows who he is. His apparel speaks for him. Unlike in Almereyda’s Hamlet where Hamlet could be anyone of the characters.
The story is a smaller summary of what Gilman went through in her own life. Our narrator was going through postpartum depression, similar to our author. In the late 1800 's, suffering from depression, a physician would advise anybody to stay away from all types of life, confine yourself away criticism from others;our narrator was recommended to do the same. Writing "The Yellow Wallpaper" was like taking a crucial part of Gilman 's life and putting it into a story that would help youths of that time. Not only was Gilman relating to our narrator, but also audience all around the world dealing with the same problems. Many people can relate to the symptoms from depression; having a answer to deal with it another thing. "Like the narrator/protagonist she created, Gilman was both a writer and a reader. Gilman’s own defiance of doctor’s orders—her persistence as a writer—is well known to students of her work" (Hochman 12). Gilman did her own studies by doing the things that kept her mind busy, and doing the opposite of what anybody had to say. If you were going through similar problem and didn’t think a physician or doctor orders were doing the opposite of curing, then it was 'ok ' to find another way of handling it. That’s exactly what Charlotte Perkins Gilman did by picking up a pen and book and writing journals and
Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” depicts a young woman suffering from depression after the birth of her child. This woman is sheltered away by her husband to a mansion in the country, where she persists to retreat into her mind from lack of other stimuli. Through the narrator’s drastic plunge to insanity, Gilman accurately depicts the limited roles available to women of the nineteenth century and the domineering and oppressing actions men took toward them.

World War One was one of the most traumatic events that has happened in human history. At the end of the war, over six countries were involved in the overall war. There is lots of speculation about why tensions between countries formed and eventually turned into violence, but instead of the alliances or imperialism, it is clear that militarism (the expansion of a country’s military force) is the true underlying cause of World War One. This is due to the fact of germany’s fear of britain, overwhelming increases in military expenses, and the mentality of the triple entente.
The narrator’s emotional struggles in Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” culminate in a mental breakdown that leaves her unable to recognize her identity or situation. The setting of the story both clarifies her struggles by serving as an analogy to the distressing dynamics of her relationships and by heightening her psychosis.

Fairly rare to see men wearing tights and a long coat over featured with some fur. Our dresses are less layered and aren’t as bright with so many different designs and colors. Our dresses are much more comfortable because we don't wear corsets to tighten the waist or ruffs around our necks. As an ordinary bride the dress is consisted of many layer as in the Elizabethan times and there is something similar to the farthingale with holds out the
There were many factors that contributed to the cause of World War I. However, the three underlying causes include imperialism, alliances, and militarism. Imperialism refers to a nation wanting to expand its power. In contrast, alliances refer to two or more nations combining their forces or having a mutual agreement. Militarism is the prioritization of military power in a country (such as a country’s Navy or Army). These core causes not only created tension between the nations but small conflicts that escalated ultimately resulting in the first World War.
Many businesses have begun using a casual dress policy on certain days. Implementing dress-down days may be an effective way to boost employee morale.
