I am thoroughly confused by Charlotte Perkins Stetson\u2019s short story, of course, I understood what was going on in terms of Charlottes bed rest, but I did not understand what was going on with the paper. Was she going delusional because she was being forced to stay in bed or was there mold in the walls? I\u2019m glad that Dr. Bezio told us that this short story affected at least one women\u2019s life as an individual and that it affected her doctor\u2019s prescription of such tactics. Regardless of understanding the story the first time I read I did find it interesting; I think if I went back and close read it, I would get a lot out of it. Even without a close reading of it, I found her writing to be very eloquent and full of particularly interesting adjectives. I also on a surface level found potential parallels between Charlotte Perkins Stetson growing up without a father and her relationship with her husband John. Many of these moments both reflected the absence of a father in her life as well as how husbands treated their wives as children, and how because she was troubled, she must be treated as a child. All of which deturbed me. I am intrigued by how this story preempts her leaving, of course, the \u201ccreeping\u201d is a sign she wishes to do things she is not supposed to do when John cannot see her. But beyond that, the story does not (at least as far as I have read into it) indicate the desire to really leave her husband and even more so does not really show us a great connection between her and her child. But again, I did not close read this story and would surely get much more out of it if I did so. I do want to draw one more parallel to the last class before I wrap up this blog post. This short story shows a great deal of leadership as it had a profound effect on whether or not to use these \u201crest cures.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
