"Mad" Women in Fiction
Why do mad women feature so promintently in literature (and paintings) from Victorian times to the present?

We will make a mad attempt to find some answers (and more questions) by studying the following texts:

C. Dickens. Great Expectations (1860-1861). Miss Havisham. Excerpts in Reader.

C. Gillman Perkins. The Yellow Wallpaper (1892). Excerpts in Reader.
J. Frame. Faces in the Water. (1961).
S. Plath. The Bell Jar. (1963).
J. Greenberg. I Never Promised You a Rosegarden.(1964).
J. Rhys. Wide Sargasso Sea. (1966). (The story of Bertha Mason before she became “The Mad Woman in the Attic" in Jane Eyre). For this text also read the excerpt from C. Bronte/Currer Bell. Jane Eyre (1847) in the Reader.
Ophelia in Shakespeare. Hamlet (1599/1601). Excerpts in a reader.
Lady Mackbeth in Shakespeare. Macbeth (1606/1623). Excerpts in a reader.
J. Thurber. "The Unicorn in the Garden" (1945). Excerpts in a reader.
