their own limited and unreliable narration of events that they cause great harm
to themselves and others. Neither reader nor protagonist may realize how
unreliable the narrative is until the resolution is revealed. Pick two stories
introduce, authors and titles , explain the disconnect between what the
protagonists think they are achieving, as opposed to what they are actually
doing, which only becomes evident, as we witness the results. The two
stories are: Lawrence's "Rocking Horse Winner, Gilman's "The Yellow Paper,
Most of the time, characters
hurt themselves and others because they are focused on their own distorted
perception of the events. Readers and protagonists alike may not be aware of
the story's unreliability until the conclusion is revealed. In the in this
essay, the disconnect between what the protagonists think they are achieving,
as opposed to what they are actually doing in the short stories; Lawrence's
"Rocking Horse Winner” and Gilman's "The Yellow Paper”
