Rebellion Through Writing
In The Yellow Wall-Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman the narrators rebellion is through writing. She talks about how her husband is a physician as well as her brother and how both of them tell her that writing as well as work is bad for her. She say's "There come John, and I must put this away-he hates to have me write a word" Even with her husband as well as brother telling her not to write she continues to. She says "I did write for a while in spite of them" she listens to her husband in every way with advice about her condition but her one rebellion is in her writing. She does this even though she is told not to and even though it makes her tired. This is because everyone has a point where they cannot follow rules anymore.
