| Abstract: | The nineteenth century witnessed the consolidation of domestic ideology alongside the emergence of women writers who began articulating the constraints placed upon female intellectual and social autonomy. The short story ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ by Charlotte Perkins Gilman provides a compelling case study to dramatize the silencing of women within late nineteenth-century domestic ideology. The female protagonist, Jane is patronised by her loving husband - who cares for her to the point of infantilisation - subduing her free will in the process to the point that she goes mad from having her freedom of will taken away. This paper examines how the woman behind the wallpaper breaking free symbolises Jane’s reclamation of intellectual agency, and how the story can be read as an allegory to the Victorian woman’s struggle to free herself from patriarchal confinement and reclaim her narrative agency through writing. Although Gilman was writing in the American context of the 1890s, the domestic ideology she critiques was deeply informed by the broader Anglo-American Victorian doctrine of separate spheres. |
