The Yellow Wallpaper
Published at the end of the 19th century, the short story The Yellow Wallpaper depicts the semi-autobiographical story of a young depressed woman, recently a mother. Her husband, John, a medical officer, demonstrates a great inability to understand what is happening to her, largely because he himself is trapped within the cultural confines of the time.
Hoping to help her, John temporarily moves the woman to another house, a beautiful, rural one, where he will try to recover the patient with fresh air and rest from any kind of work. The woman, feeling trapped, with no options for her imagination and creativity — moreover, in a room with a decor that disturbs her — gets further and further away from recovery, closer and closer to madness.
Narrated in the first person, The Yellow Wallpaper is one of the most important texts in American, and global, feminist literature, delving deeply into the winding paths of mental disorders caused in women who, after all, are simply prevented from being who they are.
