Set in the restrictive environment of a 19th-century home, the story explores the psychological deterioration of a woman confined by her husband under the guise of treatment. As she becomes increasingly fixated on the room's unsettling yellow wallpaper, her descent into madness reflects broader themes of female oppression and mental health. The vivid imagery of the wallpaper symbolizes her struggle and the societal constraints imposed on women, making it a powerful commentary on gender roles and mental illness in that era.
