The Yellow Wallpaper is a haunting tale of isolation, mental illness, and the oppressive power of societal expectations. Narrated through the diary entries of an unnamed woman suffering from a nervous condition, the story begins as she is confined to a room in a secluded mansion by her well-meaning but controlling husband, a physician. As she becomes fixated on the room’s unsettling yellow wallpaper, her mind begins to unravel, and what seemed like a place of rest turns into a prison of her own mind. With each passing day, the woman’s obsession with the wallpaper deepens, and she begins to question her sanity as she believes there is something trapped within the patterns. As the walls close in on her, both literally and metaphorically, The Yellow Wallpaper explores the terrifying consequences of being silenced, ignored, and confined by societal norms. Is the woman truly mad—or is she a victim of the very system that claims to heal her?
