Show transcript
In 'The Yellow Wallpaper', Perkins Gilman may have wanted to reveal more about John than the narrator herself. 'The Yellow Wallpaper' may be a critique of the patriarchal systems in place in the 1800s. The narrator's husband seems to come across as controlling, dismissive, patronising and authoritative. We can craft the narrator's husband voice using a range of methods such as imperatives, tag questions and modal verbs.
