what is the theme of "the yellow wallpaper" by charlotte perkins gillman?

how does gilman use diction, tone, and figurative language to develop her theme in "the yellow wallpaper"

This is hard to answer without context but;
Diction would be the word choice which would tie into imagery and therefore into figurative language. The theme would be an overall concept such as guilt, reverence, depression etc. Pick a theme that you think is well represented and then format it appropriately. so like,

" In "The Yellow Wallpaper" (italicize that too) by Charlotte P. Gillman the audience is introduced to the theme of *insert whatever your theme is* this theme is throughly represented by her usage of words such as *Insert words that support the theme/mood*. The theme is also well represented by her use of figurative language, this is best represented in the lines *Insert 3 good examples or fig. lang. ( ex. Metaphor, Simile,Onamonapia, alliteration, Personification etc) "
