The Yellow Wallpaper and the Metamorphosis share a common theme of gaining a freedom from their previous lives. The lady in the Yellow Wallpaper is controlled by her husband and escapes by imagining herself as being the girl in the wallpaper. Gregor was responsible for supporting his family financially and he never took time for himself. He gains freedom by transforming from a human into a bug. The authors have illustrated the theme by conveying their changing mental states.

She did not know his name or who he was but she was already enamored with him (page 80, paragraph 3). They ended up talking at the club and Adam asked for her number. They started texting and went out on a few dates when something awful happened. Adam showed up almost an hour late for one of their dates and when he finally did show up he was acting strangely.

In “The Yellow Wallpaper” the narrator and protagonist of the story, who does not have a name, is mentally ill and leaves her illness in the hands of her physician husband, John. To help cure her illness, John takes her to this luxurious house away from human interaction in which she is put in a room. The first thing she notices about the room is the yellow wallpaper. Automatically, she sees the wallpaper and is disgusted by the color. She illustrates the wallpaper for the readers,

This past year, I have been apart of Naperville Central’s brand new Special Spaces club. When my friend approached me and asked me to join, I agreed even though I had no clue what I was involving myself in. In retrospective, I can honestly say that becoming a part of Special Spaces has been one of the most meaningful, fun, and fulfilling experiences I have had in high school.

I wait for what feels like forever until the door opens again and red light is welcomed in once more. Someone new enters the room from behind me. It sounds like my father.

Once inside the haunted house she discovers the yellow wallpaper. Which leads her to have an obsession over and she seeks to explore the wallpaper. The narrator comes upon the wallpaper because her husband John decides every aspect of her life. John chose and upstairs room contrary to what the narrator wanted. Originally the narrator was drawn to a room with an opening to the garden, however, that was not taken into account and she was consigned to the upstairs room. Which, was a “former nursery, whose major features are the ancient yellow wallpaper, bars on the windows, and a huge bedstead nailed to the floor” (artickle 1 pg 287). When I first read the layout of the room, I felt uneasy and frightened. I could not imagine how a “loving” husband could take his sick wife who supposedly needs to rest in a room with bars on the windows and the bed nailed to the floor.

Adam hires his sous chef out from underneath a former colleague that once was a friend of Adam’s. To hire Helene he doubles her salary to get her to work for him because Helene finds Adam old-fashioned and unbearably conceited.

Instantly, bringing the girl home doesn't seem like the right intention for Adam. But promptly, life arranges them something inevitable, yet something that will reveal the lies that were buried deep amid the cold surface. Something that could lead to fatal consequences, and shatter both their broken worlds in an instant. Something they could never just forgive and forget.

September has arrived. The familiar yellow school bus halts to a stop, and I get on. Every year, I get a little older. And yet, each year, the same yellow school bus takes me to school, where I learn the same things over and over again, except a little more advanced as I age. It’s become a routine to come home at 3:00 PM, do my homework, then eat dinner and go to bed. My schedule will automatically reset the next day. The truth is, I hate it, and I hate how I’ve let it go on for so long. Sure, routine is safe and secure, but it gets boring fast. I realized that if I didn’t take action soon, this would become my reality for the next four years at the high school. And so, I decided to join the school’s swim team, in hopes of finding an activity

It might mean we have to wait for that place of our own a bit longer, but damn, if we kill God, we can live wherever we want, and we'd have to buy a car." Then he suddenly stopped and stared at Eve, expression downcast. "But, what about Jerry and Betty? They've been so good to us since we moved here, like the parents we never had, and I don't know if they can do without me at the store."
