Charlotte Perkins Gilman/An Example of Heroism
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page research paper that argues that Gilman's life constitutes an example of heroism. Heroism is often equated with fighting in battle. While this is certainly brave, the soldier receives tremendous societal reinforcement and approval for such bravery. Heroism is also shown by those who go against the dictums of society and face social rejection and ostracism. It takes intense bravery and is extremely heroic to stand against societal mores and concepts that are widely accepted and say "This is wrong." In the nineteenth century, Charlotte Perkins Gilman took a stand diametrically opposed to the way in which women were treated during the Victorian era. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman/The Yellow Wallpaper
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page essay that discusses Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story, "The Yellow Wallpaper," which continues to capture and fascinate the imagination of successive generations of readers, due to its harrowing story of a unnamed female protagonist's descent into insanity. The mental decline of Gilman's heroine is due to the fact that she undergoes a "rest cure" imposed on her by her well-intention, but tyrannical doctor/husband, John. Victorian society had a vested interest in maintaining the strict gender roles of the era, which included keeping women completely with the domestic sphere and accepting of a child-like role that was totally subservient to the authority of their husband. Gilman's story provides dramatic counterpoint to this social paradigm, as it indicates the damage that suppressing women's autonomy as fully-fledged adults can have on mental health. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Chaucer -- Lovers and Love in “The Knight’s Tale,” “The Merchant’s Tale,” and “The Wife of Bath’s Tale”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses Geoffrey Chaucer’s views on love and lovers as presented in three of “The Canterbury Tales.” Each of these three Tales clearly speak to much of the romance Chaucer saw around, him both in terms of love and passion, as well as in the sense of the adventure and lyricism of “romanticism.” They also demonstrate darker sides of human love in a way that presents a character but makes no particular judgment on him or her. No secondary sources.
