Yellow Wallpaper
This story is about a woman who has recently had a baby, but doesn’t feel quite right anymore. Her husband and brother are doctors, but they say she is just fine. In this story her husband takes her to a remote house to get better. This woman rarely talks about her baby and doesn’t want to be hidden away. She asks to have visitors, but her husband says she isn’t ready for guests.
This woman doesn’t like the house that her husband has her stay in. She first complains about the wallpaper. She doesn’t like the design or color on the wall. She says, “I never saw worse paper in all my life.” (Yellow wallpaper line 33) When the couple first gets to the house she says, “I would say a haunted house.”(Yellow wallpaper line 2) She got the feeling that the house was very different and something wasn’t right.
The character’s mood changes at about line 85 after she starts focusing on the wallpaper patterns. She claims in certain light, “I can see a strange, provoking, formless sort of figure, which seems to skunk about behind that silly and conspicuous front design.”(Yellow Wallpaper line 81)
This woman could have been cured with the right diagnosis. She was suffering from depression after having a baby. Doctors are very careful to diagnose this early now, but then maybe weren’t well known. Postpartum depression can be very serious and make a person go crazy without proper help.
