In The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a woman suffering from what is presumed to be postpartum depression is confined by her husband to the upstairs nursery of a summer home. Prescribed rest as the cure, she becomes increasingly obsessed with the room's peculiar yellow wallpaper. She begins to see patterns and a figure trapped within the wallpaper’s complex designs. As her fascination deepens, her mental state deteriorates, leading her to believe that she, too, must free herself and the figure in the wallpaper. This powerful tale examines themes of mental illness, the limitations placed on women in 19th-century society, and the dire consequences of treating them as fragile individuals.
