One theme from charlotte perkins gilman's "the yellow
wallpaper" is that people can become mentally unstable without
the freedom to express themselves. which excerpt from the
story best supports this theme?
o a. i think sometimes that if i were only well enough to
write a little it would relieve the press of ideas and rest
me.
o b. there is nothing to hinder my writing as much as i
, save lack of strength.
o c. i am getting angry enough to do something desperate.
o d. but i am here, and no person touches this paper but me
- not alive!

c is a symbol. when bernice gets her hair cut, it is the authors way of showing the affects and demands of pier pressure and the over-all attitudes of people at the time.

could you provide an image?

in my opinion i think it was not excessive at all. the maids turned against the queen in his absence, how could he ever trust them again? if he let them go they would surely spread the news of the suitor's deaths, which is much too risky. as for the suitors, they were selfish, rude, and greedy. the god's had apparently marked them for death, meaning odysseus made their death come faster.
