Abstract

In this paper we analyse the 1892 shot story The Wellow Wall-Paper written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman under Fairclough's (1992) critical discourse analysis approach, specifically unfer the three-dimensional model he proposes. The choice of such a theory is justified by the story's autobiographical trace, which creates a parallel with the historic context of production of such short story, elucidating social problems that Gilman used to fight against. The conclusion is that with this story Gilman could achieve the critical discourse analysis main goal: to cause some change in society. Throughout this article we will see how she did it.
