Damsels in Distress

A problematic girl "weak, your name is a woman!" Can be found in Hamlet, a famous literary work by William Shakespeare. For decades there has been a lot of controversy over the power and role of the "weaker ship". However, many other sources have proved that women are actually as powerful as other "ship". Through the history of literature, women are depicted as helpless and role of "family" women. John Steinbeck does not use this statement in his novel "Special Angry Grape".

Andromeda is a dead girl, a beautiful young woman being threatened by the serpent of the sea. She needs a hero to save her from a villain. It is an incentive for heroic behavior and often makes a hero confront an enemy like a snake snake, so the girls who are suffering are important.

The main character gets happiness by saving the girl suffering. The hero usually saves a problematic girl and is to accept his happiness. Perseus saved Andromeda, she was trapped in an evil snake as a victim of her father's kingdom. Perseus defeated Sea Snake and his opponent Phoenix, and successfully defended Andromeda. Andromeda finally married Perseus. Perseus is a wonderful family with 6 children. Perseus is very faithful through marriage, living a happy life with Andromeda.

The most painful example of the hostess is probably coming from the story of Perseus which helps lay the foundation of this concept. In the fourth volume of transformation Perseus turned to Andromeda, a beautiful girl named as a hostage to a monster. Perseus was said to be an "unconscious desire" to save Andromeda; as a result, Perseus killed the beast and saved her (Latham 21) after her parents promised to marry her. Likewise, in Superman's story, Louis Ryan is often the woman he suffers. She repeatedly targeted the evil person and asked Superman to do her best to rescue her. Superman, often kidnapped, Lois Lane pays tribute to Perseus and Andromeda's story again and again, without the primitive Greek myth (Latham 20). Furthermore, it is important to recognize that the prototype of "a worried girl" is not necessarily defined by the romantic interest of women.

The worried girl is a classic Gothic escape, which we are accustomed to reading, but in "yellow wallpaper" this escape traces another path. The 18 th century brought about different and highly required distortion to all Gothic metaphors. The problematic girl was a weak woman (probably crazy tyrant, aggressive father, oppressed lover) who needed to be rescued from the bad luck coming up. In "Yellow wallpaper", the girls who are suffering are not just weak ladies, but a woman's narrator in books. We are used to the abused girl being oppressed by men and the girl of "yellow wallpaper" is never disappointed in the male department.
