Her obsession with finding a pattern reveals her imagination and creativity, which is stifled by her husband and by her being forced to spend so much time in the room.

She is depressed, not able to see her new baby, not permitted to have visitors, and shut in at all times. Since she is denied any opportunity for stimulation or creative outlet, she creates one. Her obsession with the wallpaper, and later the insanity it causes, show what kind of a mind she has. Her mind is one that needs to express itself creatively.

In "The Yellow Wallpaper," we learn about a woman who is being "treated" for a particular illness. We do not know what this is, although it is most likely a form of depression. However, the treatment she is being given is that of resting in a room with no mental stimulation.

This isolation causes the narrator to become obsessed with the wallpaper. What we learn is that the character has an intelligent, creative mind that needs to be stimulated. By depriving her of this, she slowly becomes more and more obsessed with the wallpaper, worsening her condition.

4. What excuse does Lady Macbeth give for Macbeth's behavior at the party?
andre [41]
[D]

Lady Macbeth: Sit down, worthy friends. My husband is often like this, and he has been since he was a child. Please stay seated. This is just a brief fit. In a moment he’ll be well again. If you pay too much attention to him you’ll make him angry, and that will make his convulsions go on longer. Eat your dinner and pay no attention to him.

Read the passage from Black Boy. I realized that, though ties of blood made us kin, though I could see a shadow of my face in hi
Ludmilka [50]

In the passage, it clearly shows that they’re distant to each other. Even if Wright and his father have had many similarities, the next set of sentences shows that it antagonizes it. Wright is not close with his father. He doesn't have a good relationship to his father.
