    Prevailing attitudes in the late nineteenth century in America were that women were frail, feeble-minded, and prone to hysteria unless carefully managed by men. A key passage in the story that illustrates this is when the narrator says “If a physician of high standing, and one’s own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression-a slight hysterical tendency-what is one to do?” (Gilman 792). In Gilman’s story, the narrator’s husband John is not only her spouse but a respected physician. This dual status gives John a weight of seeming wisdom that creates an unhealthy atmosphere for the narrator. She says that “It is so hard to talk with John about my case, because he is so wise, and because he loves me so” (797). First she is taken out of her usual habitat as they live in a rented house for the summer, and then she is separated from her family and friends.…
