Dealing with Depression in the 1800sWilliam Faulkner and Charlotte Gilman are two writers well known for intriguing novels of the 1800s. Their two quirky pieces, "A Rose for Emily ” and “The Yellow Wallpaper” are equally fascinating. These authors and their works have been well recognized, but also criticized. Criticism focuses on the society represented in these novels. Modern readers in today's society resent this dramatic society. These two novels are full of tradition, rebellion, and oppression of women's rights. Both of these novels share the misery of culture, but there is some distinction between the two. “A Rose for Emily” is a social commentary while “The Yellow Wallpaper” is an informative novel about the writer herself. The author's perspective focuses on the dark structure of society during that time and therefore creates reckless and reckless characters who offer inspiration to women of all generations. One of the seductive factors of William Faulkner's society in "A Rose for Emily" is the traditional and unshakable mental attitude of the novel's main character. Miss Emily Grierson was stern in her ways and refused to accept change. He was known to be a hereditary obligation to the city. When the next generation and modern ideas come into progress, she creates dissatisfaction by not paying taxes. For many years and up until the time of his death he would receive a tax notice every December and it would be returned by the post office a week later unclaimed. When the city gained free postal delivery, Miss Emily opposed the new idea. She herself did not allow them to fix metal numbers above her door and attach a mailbox to it. He has no tolerance when it comes to modern ideas. Depression and anguish increased within her causing great conflicts after her father's death. Left alone and without close relatives to ask for support, she remained in disbelief. As was the custom of the town, all the ladies prepared to come to the house to offer their condolences and help, but Miss Emily met them at the door without a trace of pain on her face. He told them that his father was not dead. For three days she was inclined not to believe what had happened as the minister and the doctors tried to convince her to let them get rid of the body.
