Write a review paper on stories, “The Yellow Wallpaper” and “A Rose for Emily,” deal with women’s lives. They can be included in the group of stories that deal with men/women relationships. They also have three specific elements that make them good examples of Gothic Literature: insanity, murder, and a sense of the forbidden. These are the main elements of this type of fiction. The murder does not have to be a physical one; it can be a psychological one. There is always insanity. There is always a mystery concerning the house in which the main characters live or, in one case here, rents. The townspeople watch Emily’s every move and want to know what is in her house and what is going on in her house. The unnamed wife feels her summer residence is strange; she even suggests it may be haunted. All her family members watch her every move. A sense of the forbidden can be what is found in Emily’s house or what is denied the unnamed wife. In these two stories the main characters, Emily and the unnamed wife, experience certain situations and slowly but steadily change. Writing Assignment: Due Date 2/14/2022 at 11:59 pm Select one of the stories and show how it is a gothic tale that deals with women’s lives. Your response should be brief (fifteen sentences). Do not give a plot summary. Concentrate on those three elements: insanity, murder, and a sense of the forbidden. Once you do that, you have met the requirement of the assignment. Pay close attention to good writing (spelling, grammar, sentence construction). Proofread your response closely. Make sure you put your name, course/section number, and title of writing assignment on your word document
