Exploring themes of mental health and societal oppression, this classic short story follows a woman's descent into madness as she is confined to a room by her husband. The wallpaper in her isolation becomes a symbol of her entrapment and desire for freedom. Through vivid imagery and poignant narrative, the story critiques the treatment of women and the misunderstanding of mental illness in the 19th century. It invites readers to reflect on the impacts of isolation and the struggle for self-identity.
