Read the excerpt from "The Yellow Wallpaper."

I don't like our room a bit. I wanted one downstairs that opened on the piazza and had roses all over the window, and such pretty old-fashioned chintz hangings! but John would not hear of it.

He said there was only one window and not room for two beds, and no near room for him if he took another.

He is very careful and loving, and hardly lets me stir without special direction.

Which statement describes a gothic element in this excerpt that reflects a social attitude of Gilman's time?

    Explanation:

    This is the statement that best describes an element that reflects a social attitude of Gilman's time. In this line, we learn about how Gilman's husband behaves towards her. We learn that Gilman's husband attempts to give her directions in everything that she does. This shows the social attitude of a husband believing he is the only authority that should operate in the house. Moreover, it shows how men believed women to be incapable of making their own decisions.
