The Yellow Wallpaper

Presented as a first-person journal, this story follows a woman who, during the summer at an old mansion rented by her physician husband, is confined to the upstairs nursery as part of her treatment. Forbidden to work and encouraged to rest, she begins to document her thoughts privately, but her focus on the wallpaper's pattern and color increasingly consumes her. Her gradual mental decline unfolds amid her attempts to hide her journal, exploring themes of confinement and perception.
