Question 5
What is the central idea of the section you read, and how has it changed from the first section you read?
The central idea in the second excerpt has developed further, showing that greater isolation and denials of enjoyments pushes one further and further into mental and physical isolation. In the first excerpt, the narrator’s isolation was just beginning and she detested the yellow wallpaper, but as her isolation continues, she now begins to spiral further into mental isolation and the lack of creative activities drives her to become fascinated by the wallpaper.
