- In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” Jane says, “It is so hard to talk to John about my case, because he is so wise, and because he loves me so,” (paragraph 122). His wisdom is, to say the least, open to question, but what about his love? Do you think he suffers merely from a failure of perception or is there a failure of affection as well? Make an argument for how (character) John’s regard for the narrator contributes to her decline.
