Summary:
A stream-of-consciousness story of a young woman dealing with depression, a domineering husband and physician in the patriarchal world of the 1890s. The yellow wallpaper represents the family, medicine, and tradition in which the character finds herself trapped. Over the course of the story, the wallpaper becomes a text of sorts through which the character exercises her imagination and identifies with a figure who seems to have found freedom.
