10. 8/9/20159 How to Introduce, Cite, and Analyze Elaine Showalter would disagree with the interpretation of the demonized baby that poses a threat to the mother; using a feminist approach, she emphasizes the social and economic conditions that bind women and drive them into insanity. According to her, the narrator in “The Yellow Wallpaper” is “a woman driven mad by her enforced confinement and passivity” whereas the rest cure “is a sinister parody of idealized Victorian femininity: inertia, privatization, narcissism, dependency. In particular, the weight gain that was considered an essential part of the cure was a kind of pseudo-pregnancy” (247). The narrator is on the brink of insanity not because of her own weakness of any kind, but because she is driven into insanity by unreasonable and unfair expectations. Introduce Cite Analyze

15. 8/9/201514 Short vs. Long Quotations Whereas the wallpaper can be interpreted as a reflection of the narrator’s individual struggle, the wallpaper pattern can also be seen as the “pattern” of the social and economic dependence of women, or even as prison bars that confine women to the domestic sphere. Paula A. Treichler views the woman in the wallpaper as a slave in the domestic sphere. She argues that “the yellow wallpaper represents... the “pattern” of social and economic dependence which reduces women to domestic slavery... all women” (190). The narrator writes about her discovery that not one but many women are hidden behind the pattern: Through watching so much at night, when it changes so, I have finally found out. The front pattern does move--and no wonder! The woman behind shakes it! Sometimes I think there are a great many women behind, and sometimes only one and she crawls around fast, and her crawling shakes it all over.

Direct Quotation The wallpaper is dull and ugly, but the narrator watches it closely for extended periods of time. The unruly pattern reflects the narrator’s own confused mental state as she follows its unpredictable paths that suddenly come to illogical endings. (Gilman,“Yellow” 5). Indirect Quotation Indirect quotations (paraphrases) must be cited!
