There have been various analyzes based on these three stories and the characters involved: "The Yellow Wallpaper", "The Birthmark" and “The Girl with the Goose”. . This article will focus on analysis based on the figurative languages ​​used consciously or unconsciously, the passivity of the characters, the motivations, the role played in the story and the agendas used by the different authors. The purpose of this analysis is to show how various authors have used short stories to convey to the world a diverse message that can be spread in many different directions. “The Yellow Wallpaper” is a short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman specializing in poetry, short stories, and social reform. Jane in "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a passive character who shows her passivity in a quite distinct way. According to a quote from a critic of this story: “Visible: the prisoner will constantly have before his eyes the tall silhouette of the central tower from which he is being spied on. Unverifiable: the detainee must never know at any given moment whether he is being observed; but he must be sure that he can always be. “The Panopticon is a machine for dissociating the seeing/being seen dyad: in the peripheral ring, we are totally seen, without ever seeing; in the central tower, we see everything without ever being seen” (Michel Foucault, 1979). This shows that the house Jane lives in would be considered a prison in which the prisoners can be observed but they cannot see their watchers. He calls this method of observation “Panopticon” (Michel Foucault, 1979). This method regulated the behavior of prisoners at all times and in this story, it regulated Jane's behavior so that she was used to receiving orders.
