In the short story, oppression is showed in two ways. The narrator’s husband in order to treat her wife’s postnatal depression confines her to a room in a certain house. He also prohibits her to execute any task like reading or writing. This approach to her cure by the narrator’s husband personifies him as authoritative and ruling. The narrator who has no other choice but to be restraint to the role of good mother and wife and remain in the same state. Secondly the room in which the protagonist is kept oppresses her to an extreme. She finds it impossible to become well again in a room with the scratched floor, marks in the bed posts, and above all the wallpaper. Though this way of confining is done for her cure, but it only made her feel depressed and neglected.  In an article “The Forerunner” she tells us why she writes “the yellow wallpaper”.  She wrote it in-order to carry out the ideal and sent a copy to the physician who so nearly drove her mad. But this story has also stood up as a symbol of fighting back against this kind of rest cure. Reports by Catherine Lavender professor of CUNY says that after many years she got acknowledged by a great specialist who admitted to friends of his that he had altered his treatment of neurasthenia since reading The Yellow Wallpaper.

               The movie “The uprising” (2013) directed by Fredrik Stanton shows us the Arab revolutions from the inside. It created a revolution by showing masses of Arabs marching for freedom, and using Muslim prayer as a form of peaceful protest against their oppression. In the film, one can witness interviews with Egyptians, most particularly the young people who poured into the streets of Cairo to protest decades of repression and corruption under the Mubarak regime.
