Write 1-2 pages in which you compare and contrast the main female character’s responses

Read “The Yellow Wallpaper” and “The Story of an Hour” and then write 1-2 pages in which you compare and contrast the main female character’s responses to the situations they are placed in: their marriages, their treatment by the male characters in their lives, their living situations. How are the characters fenced in or controlled? How do they try to exert agency? What is the impact of the conflicts they make or find themselves in?
