The Yellow Wallpaper


The Yellow Wallpaper was my favorite story we have read so far. The narrator was very relatable because of her situation. She had an illness that no one really took seriously. Her husband, John, was a doctor that forced her to stay in a nursery all day long while he was away at work. He didn’t seem like a really good doctor to me. Staying in a locked up room daily for a very long time made the narrator crazy. I think that this would make anyone go crazy! She ended up relating to a made up lady that she discovered in her wallpaper. She looked as the wallpaper as a lady behind bars trying to escape just as she was. In the end she ripped the wallpaper off of the wall after her husband demanded her not to. In her eyes, the lady escaped and in a sense, so did she.

  1. i agree with how you explained the story. i think she really was crazy though and the way she was treated only made things worse

  2. I didn't think her husband was a good doctor either. I think it's his fault she went crazy by forcing her to stay in that room.
