Question 2 • English III A-CR

Which of the narrator’s statements suggest her viewpoint about women’s roles in society? Check the three boxes that apply.

Answer
A
“John laughs at me, of course, but one expects that in marriage.”
B
“One of those sprawling flamboyant patterns committing every artistic sin.”
C
“I MUST say what I feel and think in some way – it is such a relief!”
D
“Of course it is only nervousness. It does weigh on me so not to do my duty in any way!”

Explanation

A, C, and D reveal the narrator’s views about women’s roles and expectations. In A, she treats John’s dismissing her as something expected in marriage, suggesting that wives are expected to accept their husbands’ behavior. C shows her need to express her thoughts, which she cannot freely do. In D, she worries about failing to do her “duty,” reflecting pressure to meet expected responsibilities. B describes the wallpaper’s appearance, not women’s roles.
