Set in the late 19th century, this novella delves into the psychological struggles of a woman confined to a room by her husband for a "rest cure." As she becomes increasingly obsessed with the room's yellow wallpaper, her descent into madness mirrors the oppressive societal norms faced by women. Through vivid imagery and symbolism, the narrative critiques the treatment of women's mental health and the constraints placed on their autonomy, offering a powerful commentary on gender roles and the quest for self-identity.
