Agreed. This trope needs to either be renamed or revised. For the purposes of the text, the title of \\\"The Madwoman in the Attic,\\\" functioned also as a metaphorical representation of the \\\"affliction\\\" women writers during the 19th century suffered as they attempted to configure their identities and place in a literary tradition traditionally conceived as patrilinear. The whole concept of locking up a mad woman does not constitute the entirety of the text, therefore it does not make sense to name this trope after it. Additionally, because the examples provided are examples that include both men and women, the feminist implications of the text itself are completely lost. Please, please revise.
