>3. 집에 굴러다니는 <유령 이야기 모음집>이라는 영어책이 있길래 그 중 하나를 읽어봤는데 Gilman이라는 작가의 <노란 벽지>라는 작품이었어요. 근데 결말을 읽어보니 무언가 페미니즘과 관련된 주제를 담고 있는 것 같은데 제 추측이 맞나요?


남편의 심리적인 억압 때문에 서서히 미쳐가는 한 여성의 이야기이죠.


Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" is an observation on the male oppression of women in a patriarchal society. The story itself presents an interesting look at one woman's struggle to deal with both mental and physical confinement. Through Gilman's writing the reader becomes aware of the mental and physical confinement, which the narrator endures, and the overall effect and reaction to this confinement.

The relationship between the husband and his wife would be disagreeable in today's modern's relationship. Today, most women crave equality with their partner, which is what narrator doesn't have. The story is a fascinating look into the mind of a woman slipping deeper and deeper in to mental and physical illness because of her husband's enforcement of her mental and physical confinement. It is also however, clearly a statement of how absurd the confines society places on the women of her time effect extreme consequences for the women who attempt to break free from those confines.
