Stream of consciousness, a literary technique that
presents the mental world of a character, was �rst
employed by French writer Édouard Dujardin in his
novel Les Lauriers Sont Coupés (1888), according to
the 6th edition of Columbia Encyclopedia. Also
written in the late 19th century, Gilman’s short story
The Yellow Wallpaper has some similar characteristics
though it is not de�ned as a stream-of-
consciousness work. As a response paper to The
Yellow Wallpaper, this essay intends to analyze the
