revolt of wallpaper

I think the biggest similarity between the two is the rebellion in general. They both defied their expected gender roles and tradition. Arguably I would say that in the Revolt of 'Mother', mother has more control over her rebellion than that of the narrator in The Yellow Wallpaper.
While Sarah is more cunning about her rebellion, there is a sense that she has been driven mad over the promises made to her for the last fourty years. Her lack of concern regarding what other people have to say about her action is very similar to the narrator in The Yellow Wallpaper.
The "revolt" in general is what the two characters share.
