Women Smothered in Yellow Wallpaper, Rappaccini's daughter and belovedA connection can be made between the stories listed above regarding women who live in prison. Rappaccini's daughter Beatrice is confined to a garden because of her father's love of science, and she becomes the pawn of several men's egos. The woman in The Yellow Wallpaper is trapped by her own family's idea of ​​how she should behave, because her mood and writing habit are not "normal" to them. Sethe, from Beloved, carries the burden of her past and also that of all the slaves. She is unwelcome in her community and a prisoner in her own home, where she is forced to confront these memories of slavery. These three women are considered by society to be crazy, evil, or both. The “prison” in which these women live are constructed by their family, their history, and even themselves. Beatrice's prison is probably the most obvious. Her father made her poisonous and addicted to a poisonous flower. As a result, she was confined to the garden. Beatrice encountered other, less apparent entanglements. From the outside world, she was often misunderstood. Giovanni, who was his only real connection to the outside world, was constantly in a state of confusion regarding Beatrice. He didn't know if it was an angel or a demon. In the end, he was convinced that she was purely evil and, much to his dismay, he betrayed her. Due to her father's abnormal use of her as an experiment, these misunderstandings from the outside world were inevitable for Beatrice. Luedtke states: “Is Beatrice venomous, sexual or demonic? Or pure, spiritual and angelic. She is both. It's up to Giovanni to solve the riddle. » (177) However, Giovanni was in the middle of article......the iteration and death of the narrative in Hawthorne's 'The Birthmark'. response and discussion}. 29 Many 2000.
