Of the short
stories we read for this class so far, my favorite one was “The Yellow
Wallpaper.” I noticed the character from this short story was parallel to
Eleanor from “The Haunting of Hill House.” Both characters seem to be lost in
thought of what to do with themselves. For example, the character from “The
Yellow Wallpaper” is confused when she thinks about what she is seeing in the
wallpaper. She makes up all these things in her head while Eleanor also does
similar things. She first is positive she wants to start a new life at Hill
House, but as she gets there she doubts what will happen to her because of the appearance
of the old house. Both characters start
to create confusion because they do not know what to do with themselves, for
example at the end of “The Yellow Wallpaper” the character starts attacking her
husband, John while Eleanor decides to look at the tower and almost falls over
but is saved by Luke. Both of these actions indicate their haste decisions.
