The Screw Symbolism

Unfortunately, her malicious words stir up even more trouble than there already is. This is because whoever reads the letter rethinks their situation and eventually that is the only thought on their mind, causing them to act out. Specifically continue with the same behaviour but, exaggerating it. An example of this in the Short Story “The Possibility of evil” is when Miss Strangeworth sent a letter in the past to the parents of a young girl in the town named Linda Stewart about possible nefarious behaviour hidden in the area “Linda Stewart’s parents would never have been aware of possible evil lurking nearby if Miss Strangeworth had not sent them a letter”. Due to this letter Linda Stewart has been crying constantly!

She just starts saying how her son has gone crazy. The motherly thing to do is trying to understand what was happening so that she can help and protect her son.

For example, when Hale defends Elizabeth and John Proctor, he tells Danforth that he has always thought Abigail “false”. As soon as he says this, Abigail immediately reacts, and says. Abigail then begins to accuse Mary Warren of sending her spirit upon her, which in turn makes Mary’s testimony against Abigail meaningless. Also, Abigail successfully draws the attention of the court from Hale, and now the people are too distracted by Abigail to truly comprehend what Hale was trying to say. In another example, Abigail also draws the attention off of herself and onto another.

The purpose of a ghost story is to leave the reader feeling frightened and unaware of what the truth of reality is.

Was the death of the woman in childbed simply a coincidence? Were there really angry spirit ancestors, causing trouble? And lastly, why was the school the great sacrifice made to the ancestors? All these untied loose ends leave the reader to end the story himself/herself believing whatever they thought was true. Whether or not it was the crazy superstitious villagers or the angry spirits of their ancestors.

When Eleanor goes to Hill House, there is a voice telling her to “get away from here, get away” (Jackson pg. 24) this is reminiscent of many horror movie experiences when one of the characters of the film are walking into a basement or an attic, while the audience is screaming for them not to go in there. There are a few scary events that are caused by the supernatural, one of them being when there is “Help Eleanor come home” (Jackson pg. 107) written in chalk on the wall. A fight between the group ensues when they try to discuss who wrote her name on the wall, but when it is revealed that none of them did it, Eleanor starts to become paranoid. Another incident is when the doctor shivered when the door “swung wide open and then crashed shut” (Jackson pg. 147).

In “The Yellow Wallpaper”, Gilman uses the visual imagery of the narrator’s environment to emphasize the conditions of her isolation brought upon by her husband. The narrator is confined in an “atrocious nursery” (78) with “rings and things in the wall”, (77) an “immoveable…nailed down” bed (81) and “windows that look all ways” but are “barred for little children” (77). Despite her multiple objections, John refuses to change their bedroom and keeps her stationed where he pleases. The barred windows present evidence of deception as John refuses to let her clearly see outside the home where they are supposedly vacationing. The “nailed down bed” is a metaphor for her confinement to the house and John’s intention of keeping her there.

In the end (lines 142-162) Charles can not find his book, which makes him yell for Katherine, but when she comes to help him, he can not recognize her. He does not know who she is, and asks her what she has done to his wife. He is very upset about his book being gone, which makes Katherine scared and uncomfortable. (Line 146) “His anger makes her start, like tasting sour milk.”

In The Yellow Wallpaper a dangerous effect of complete isolation is paranoia. It is linked in with the obsession of the wallpaper as the narrator does not want anyone else becoming interested in it. The narrator wants the wallpaper all to herself to study and becomes suspicious of John and Jennie. She claims to have “caught [John] several times looking at the wallpaper” and “caught Jennie with her hand on it” (162). This effect of isolation is dangerous because the narrator locks herself in her room and throws the key out of the window in order to free the women who are trapped in the wallpaper.

The question of whether Bertha and Lady Audley are actually mad is somewhat alluded to in the novels. Braddon’s and Bronte’s novels pose the question of what causes one to be declared insane. Both Lady Audley and Bertha go against society’s expectation of the pure and pious woman. It is because they go against these ideals that they are placed into captivity and deemed as being mad. They cannot be contained within the boundaries of proper femininity for they are wild, lustful, and impious, so are therefore are considered a threat and thus need to be constrained by the repressive patriarchal society
