rest. This short story vividly reflects both a woman in torment and oppression as well as a woman struggling for self expression. The setting of "The Yellow Wallpaper" is the driving force in the story because it is the main factor that caused the narrator to go insane. The geographic setting of "The Yellow Wallpaper" adds irony between what the main character does and the connotation you get when you think about the location of the story.

Alice Elliott Dark’s short story In the Gloaming captures Janet’s emotional turmoil using a selectively omniscient narrator. The effect of the third-person point of view allows the reader to sympathize with both Laird and Janet.

If Dark had written In the Gloaming in the first-person‚ the story would have lost its stark
