The meaning of “eternally burning black pipes”refers to the physical looking and especifically the faces of the firemen involved in the story.
It implies the colour of cinders and ash about them, and the continual smell of burning from their pipes. In this regard, the story describes a fireman having black hair, black brows, a fiery face, and a blue-steel shaved and unshaved look. These men were all mirror-images of the main character that the autor wants readers to know through his looks as well as his proclivities.
These questions refers to the story "The Yellow Wallpaper."
In this story, we meet a woman who was diagnosed with an illness, and is prescribed absolute rest, including intellectual one. The story is told from the point of view of the woman herself, which allows us to witness the deterioration of her mental state first-hand.
At the beginning of the story, we see that the woman is quite a reliable narrator. However, as she begins to lose her mind, she becomes increasingly unreliable, making it impossible for the reader to know to what extent she should be trusted. Moreover, the woman is unable to escape from this situation due to the fact that her husband is a doctor, and he does not accept her opinions.
Finally, in terms of the room, we see that the narrator is in a room that has an ugly, yellow wallpaper. Besides this, she receives no mental stimulation, which leads her to become obsessed with the wallpaper as well as with the ideas of freedom and captivity.
Could you please add the dialog so we can help you?
Thank You!
