Question

Which excerpt from the yellow wallpaper contradicts the narrators belief that she is improving

Answer 1

" The Yellow Paper " is a short story. This story is written by an American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman. This story was first published in January 1982 in The New England Magazine.

This story is all about the mental and physical health of women. It illustrates the attitudes of people to this matter in the period of 19th century.

A woman is the 'narrator' in this story. Her physician husband rented an old mansion and forbid her from working.

Now coming back to the question, the excerpt from The Yellow Paper that contradicts the narrator's belief that she is improving , is

" I don't sleep much at night, for it is so interesting to watch developments; but I sleep a good deal in the daytime.

Answer 2

There are so many things that are spoken up in the yellow wallpaper.

However, the excerpt:

“I don't sleep much at night, for it is so interesting to watch developments; but I sleep a good deal in the daytime.”

is contradicting the belief of the narrator that she is going on the path of improvement.
