Read the excerpt from "why i wrote 'the yellow wallpaper.'"

this wise man put me to bed and applied the rest cure, to which a still-good physique responded so promptly that he concluded there was nothing much the matter with me, and sent me home with solemn advice to “live as domestic a life as far as possible,” to “have but two hours’ intellectual life a day,” and “never to touch pen, brush, or pencil again” as long as i lived.

why was gilman advised “never to touch pen, brush, or pencil again”?

a. her doctor believed that she’d been poisoned by ink, paint, and lead.

b. her doctor believed that intellectual effort was making her ill.

c. her doctor was afraid that she would write something negative about him.

d. her doctor was afraid that she was not strong enough to hold the tools.

B. Her doctor believed that intellectual effort was making her ill.

In the passage, the doctor tells her to limit herself  to "two hours' intellectual life a day". This recommendation from the doctor to live the life of a stereotypical, domestic housewife drives Gilman to write the story about a woman losing her sanity because she is trapped in her home. She is unable to exercise her mind and is stuck in a life she does not wish.

read this excerpt from “incidents in the life of a slave girl.”

i went about my evening work with trembling steps. mr. flint twice called from his chamber door to inquire why the house was not locked up. i replied that i had not done my work. "you have had time enough to do it," said he. "take care how you answer me! "

i shut all the windows, locked all the doors, and went up to the third story, to wait till midnight. how long those hours seemed, and how fervently i prayed that god would not forsake me in this hour of utmost need! i was about to risk everything on the throw of a die; and if i failed, o what would become of me and my poor children? they would be made to suffer for my fault.

at half past twelve i stole softly down stairs. i stopped on the second floor, thinking i heard a noise. i felt my way down into the parlor, and looked out of the window. the night was so intensely dark that i could see nothing. i raised the window very softly and jumped out. large drops of rain were falling, and the darkness bewildered me. i dropped on my knees, and breathed a short prayer to god for guidance and protection. i groped my way to the road, and rushed towards the town with almost lightning speed.
