Quorneshia Milner-The Yellow Wallpaper

The Yellow Wallpaper,was a very weird story that you would have to read until the end to even start to paint a picture of what was goin on. The wife in the story was basically ignored when she was telling her husband,John,and everyone else that somethinng was wrong with her, mainly because her husband and brother,which were physicians,found nothing wrong with her they believed in science and not faith or superstitions. With people all around basically putting her down and telling her there is nothing wrong with her and she knew there was that in itself could make a person have nervous break down. Her husband was always saying that she was improving but she did not see it but when see really started to improve Jennie,which is John's sisiter, and John started to act suspicouslly.

  1. Why do you see the question in the story as one about the difference between "science" and "faith"? Do you think the story leads us to distrust science? What evidence is there in the story to confirm John's ideas that the narrator is getting better?
