Abstract
Mentally ill patients have been stigmatized throughout history. Entrapment and Loneliness are the main themes in “A Sorrowful Guest,” by Sarah Orne Jewett, “The Yellow Wallpaper,” by charlotte Perkins Gilman and Edgar Allen Poe’s poems: “Alone,” “The Raven,” “A Dream” and “Annabel Lee.” These texts and poems demonstrate social stigma towards people with mental health problems during the nineteenth century. The crux of the study is to show how stigma is presented through language, characters, and themes. The study adopts Erving Goffman’s Stigma theory (1963) in analyzing these works. MIPs should be treated with compassion and provided appropriate emotional as well as medical help.
