Compare And Contrast The Awakening And The Yellow Wallpaper

â€Å"The Awakening† â€Å"The Yellow Wallpaper† During our previews week we had many different reading assignments. The assignment I chose to talk about in this paper for week number one was â€Å"The Yellow Wallpaper† by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. For the second reading assignment for this current week will be â€Å"The Awakening† by Kate Chopin. I choose this two reading assignments because they were both very similar, but at the same time very different. Throughout this paper I will be demonstrating a common theme—characters—and description of each story. I will also be discussing about imagery, symbol, and even a setting to create a conflict/resolution of a human experience. (Description of each story) â€Å"The Yellow Wallpaper† is a short story about a†¦show more content†¦Finally, she is so sad and confused that she goes to the ocean and commits suicide. (Overview of the main characters) All of the characters are different in some way. Our female narrator in â€Å"The Yellow Wallpaper† was mentally ill and also suffered from depression. She was a married woman who loved to write. Her conflict was a woman that she saw in the yellow wallpaper whom was behind bars; she saw herself as if she was that woman. She wanted to be free from her husband and from the yellow room. On the other hand, â€Å"The Awakening† was a story about Edna who is our main character. Edna is married to a wealthy man; a man that treats her as if she was some kind of possession. Edna likes to paint, and she sees painting as some kind of freedom. Her conflict was most of the men that surrounded her; as time passed, she learned how to use this men for her own needs. At the end of the story she commits suicide. (A common theme) Both of the story rise up for a common theme, and that is woman being able to set themselves free. Both main characters in the two stories have something that they like to do; for example, our female narrator in â€Å"The Yellow Wallpaper† likes to write while Edna in â€Å"The Awakening† likes to paint. They are both marries and have a family; they share a conflict with their husband. Both main characters are living their life not knowing what freedom is, or as if they were living in a cage.

For example, a company’s customers may use Web sites that allow them to easily compare not only their products or services—and their prices—but also those offered by competitors. Consumers can also request their â€Å"own† price and be electronically alerted to price changes as they occur. The airline companies in particular have faced
