The Movie The Yellow Wallpaper And The Popular Film ``...

In both the story â€Å"The Yellow Wallpaper† and the popular film â€Å"The Shining† there is a strong emphasis on isolation and the later onset of madness. How does isolation lead to madness and how does it affect the characters in these stories over time? Also, are both stories comparable with how the onset of madness occurs or do the characters end up crazy from completely different events. In the story â€Å"The Yellow Wallpaper† Jane is diagnosed with hysteria, which at the time led to those deemed with this â€Å"complication† to undergo the bedrest prescription.

This â€Å"cure† did not actually cure anything. It in fact made these women often go crazy from the isolation they had to end ure.
