Question

In the story "The Yellow Wallpaper," why does the author use more symbols? at least 50 words minimum

Answer 1

Clearly, the wallpaper represents the structure of family, medicine, and tradition in which the narrator finds herself trapped. Wallpaper is domestic and humble, and Gilman skillfully uses this nightmarish, hideous paper as a symbol of the domestic life that traps so many women.

I hope this helps :)
