Although characters, such as Laura and the narrator of Yellow Wallpaper, have lived comfortable lives thanks to their husbands, they do not live fulfilling lives. These characters live a life in which they serve their husbands and are seen as inferior to the men who care for them. The narrator of The Yellow Wallpaper is well aware that her husband does not view them as equals and that this takes a heavy toll on her mental stability. However, in The Garden Party, Laura does not seem to be aware that her opinions do not matter to those around her, this could be due to her age or she accepts this attitude as a social norm. The Yellow Wallpaper and The Garden Party showed the views of women's inequality from the standards of two separate women who had two different views; a point of view in which the character was unable to handle it and a point of view in which the character was unaware of this fact or simply didn't care.
