This question refers to the story "The Yellow Wallpaper." In this story, we meet a woman who is sick, according to her husband. He is a doctor, and the treatment that he suggests for her is complete rest and relaxation, which eventually leads her to insanity.
When the narrator repeateadly laments "what can we do?" we get a glimpse of her passivity and the way in which she defers all decisions to her husband. Other aspects of the personality of this woman are the fact that she considers her husband to know best, even though she disagrees with the treatment and is mad at the possibility of receiving it. The woman appears to be conflicted in her emotions because she outwardly seems to really value her husband's opinion, and appears to be ready to listen to everything he says. At the same time, she appears to be mad about his behaviour and hold some resentment towards him or their marriage.

Part A
3. The sea rose, even with its acrid scent, is more endearing than the traditional rose.
Part B
1. "more precious / than a wet rose / single on a stem-"
- In her poem "Sea Rose," Hilda Doolittle praises the qualities of a sea rose over those of a regular rose.
- We all know roses: how beautiful and fragrant they are. They are often associated with love, tenderness, and softness.
- The sea rose, on the other hand, is "marred", "harsh", "meagre".
- It does not look as good as the regular rose, but there is where its beauty and importance lie.
- The sea rose is strong - it has survived a great ordeal. Nature itself has beaten it, "flung" and "caught" it.
- The sea rose, with all its flaws, ends up being more precious than other roses.
