Let's make a conclusion!!!

Summing up the analysis of "The Yellow Wall-Paper", it is worthwhile to point out that Charlotte Perkins Gilman brilliantly uses a lot of different stylistic devices and expressive means, which help to bring home to the reader the main idea of the text. I’d like to say that the whole text was full of cases of irony, which make an enormous contribution in revealing the personalities of the main characters. Moreover, the use of personification, as well as metaphors, emphasizes the main images of the short story under analysis. As for the syntactical devices (namely, rhetorical questions and exclamation marks, different kinds of repetitions, parallel constructions, antithesis, polysyndeton and asyndeton, emphatic constructions with “do/does”), they attract the reader’s attention to the most crucial parts of the text. Speaking about graphic devices, the role of the hyphen and italics is extremely important in the story.
