Author's Note: This is an abstract piece that I wrote based on the short story The Yellow Wallpaper. I would like feedback on my ability to summarize without summarizing too much. Thanks!
My essay title is called Lost in Your Own World. In this essay, my main thesis is that the narrator of the story is lost in her own world of depression. No one could help her and drag her out of it, because she wasn't willing to help herself. Her husband, John, delievered her to a wonderful summer house for this season. He catered to her every need, making sure there was a full staff of housekeepers to wait on her needs. She was showered with nothing but love and affection from him. The narrator also had a beautiful new child living in her mist. Someone to love, nurture, raise as her own. Yet what does she do? Shove John out of her little shelter, refuse to take care of her own child, leaving a nanny to be its main caregiver, and leaving her husband without a wife. Why did she close in herself? Why was she not willing to help herself? The narrator wasn't because she didn't feel she had enough. Nothing could please her, she always wanted more. The most terrible part? She did not just destroy her own life. This woman brought down the lives of others, as well.
