The Yellow Wallpaper

I love this story. Good book and has room for notes and all the things you will need for your composition class that you probably have to read this for. I just love the story, so I bought it and will force everyone who passes over the threshold of my home to read it while they sleep in the room with patches of peeling yellow wallpaper.

The Yellow Wallpaper is a short but absolutely fascinating read. It’s a powerful and thought-provoking story, especially if you enjoy feminist literature. It offers deep insights into mental health, gender roles, and societal expectations during the time it was written. Despite its brevity, it leaves a lasting impression and plenty to think about.

The book came in great condition, it was nice to include some blank notes pages to write on.Book Review:This was definitely something. As short as it was, it was impactful.My thoughts on the meaning was that everything drove her mad, being stuck there, confined by her own husband and her mind. In the wallpaper she saw herself, a trapped woman who just wanted to crawl, to be. This weird feeling inside her that made her feel odd yet free, crazy in a special way.I definitely think she had a mental illness but the way her husband tried to keep her down worsened it. It was her illness meshed together with her feelings of unimportance and despair.An intresting read.

I bought this because my library didn't offer a physical copy anymore, and it's a classic in psychological horror. It feels almost like a pamphlet because it's about 15 pages. I think any horror writer or reader will enjoy it.

I enjoyed the story. I normally don’t read stories like this so some of the language was tough to understand but because of its length I was able to make sense of what was going on.

This was a short read only 30 pages. But alot happened in those 30 pages. I has a mix of emotions. Was she going mad? Was she driven mad? Was it mold? Being a sufferer of depression i could relate to some of this. This will stick with me.

Absolutely loved this book!

**"The Yellow Wallpaper"** by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a seminal work of American feminist literature that explores the oppressive treatment of women's mental health in the late 19th century. Presented through a series of poignant journal entries, the story follows an unnamed narrator who is subjected to a "rest cure" by her physician husband, John. Renting an old mansion for the summer, they move into a nursery with vivid yellow wallpaper that becomes a powerful symbol of her confinement and psychological decline.As she is forbidden from working or engaging in creative activities, the narrator's mental state deteriorates, leading her to obsess over the wallpaper and the figure she believes is trapped within it. This gripping narrative highlights the themes of isolation, the lack of autonomy for women, and the crushing forces of a patriarchal society. Gilman’s incisive critique of the medical and societal attitudes towards women's health paved the way for future feminist authors, and her exploration of identity and freedom resonates profoundly, making **"The Yellow Wallpaper"** a timeless and essential read that continues to inspire discussions about gender roles and mental health today.
