III. Revising the Thesis

In her research, Pat reassesses her original thesis after gathering insights from preliminary studies. She delves into the multilayered symbolism of wallpaper in literature, particularly focusing on its representation of the confining roles women faced in the 19th century. Through three key interpretations, Pat explores how wallpaper symbolizes the narrator's mental decline, reflects the social and economic dependence of women on men, and embodies the values of True Womanhood. This process leads her to formulate a more nuanced and cohesive thesis.
