Yellow Wallpaper

Here's a story about a woman whose experiencing post partum depression. The hardest part

is Jane is not really getting any support through it. Her husband John(he's a physican) feels that

his wife has a nervous condition. Pg.369 " Such a dear baby! And yet I cannot be with him

makes me nervous." Pg.372 " It is getting to be a great effort for me to think straight."

How can anyone not be depressed when your locked away in a nursery, with hideous

wallpaper. As a new mother Jane cant' even see her son, because shes nervous. This wallpaper

has different shapes, ripped up and just faded. Pg.368 "Stripped off paper- in great patches."

pg.368"Unclean yellow faded by slow turning sunlight."

From what Jane found out was no matter how hard you don't let your mind wonder. It

can still happen when there is know interaction with others. This wallpaper has a way of

putting you in a mind tripping spell. All Jane has is the four walls in this nursery and old

wallpaper. Pg.368 " I am sitting by the window now up in this atrocious nursery." Pg.368

" Stripped off paper-in great patches." Pg.368 " Unclear yellow faded by slow turning sunlight."

Pg.373 " On a pattern like this, by daylight, there is a lack of sequence, a defiance of law,

that is a constant irritant to a normal mind."
