She is forbidden from working and has to hide her journal from him, so she can recuperate from what he calls a \"temporary nervous depression - a slight hysterical tendency,\" a diagnosis common to women in that period. The windows of the room are barred, and there is a gate across the top of the stairs, allowing her husband to control her access to the rest of the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story depicts the effect of confinement on the narrator's mental health and her descent into psychosis. With nothing to stimulate her, she becomes obsessed by the pattern and color of the wallpaper. \"It is the strangest yellow, that wall-paper  It makes me think of all the yellow things I ever saw - not beautiful ones like buttercups, but old foul, bad yellow things. But there is something else about that paper - the smell  ... The only thing I can think of that it is like is the color of the paper  A yellow smell.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charlotte Perkins Gillman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1499304048\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781499304046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.08d","brand":"Charlotte Perkins Gillman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935092015359,"sku":"9781499304046","price":8.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6dbbd73d-05f7-46e3-9412-2e52e998dbea.jpg?v=1681417804","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-yellow-wallpaper-charlotte-perkins-gillman-9781499304046","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
