According to critic Valarie Gill, "Gilman attached the nineteenth century s configuration of private space as woman s domain and its attendant generalizations about femininity. Gilman ... like a broken neck and two bulbous eyes stare at you upside down"(Gilman 360). Critic Dock implies that " The Yellow Wallpaper has been read either as a horror story or as a story of sexual politics, more specifically that the late-nineteenth-century audience read it as horror but that the enlightened readers of a century later see it accurately.
