Exploring themes of mental illness and gender roles, this classic short story follows a woman's descent into madness as she is confined to a room by her husband. The oppressive environment and the yellow wallpaper become symbols of her struggle for autonomy and self-expression. As she becomes increasingly obsessed with the wallpaper's patterns, the narrative delves into the effects of isolation and societal expectations on women's mental health. The story is a poignant critique of the treatment of women in the 19th century.
