Thoughts On The Short Story 'The Yellow Wallpaper'
1.
The time period in which the short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” takes place is in the ninetieth century. However, the place in which this story takes place is in a room inside a mansion or asylum.

husband, who is also her doctor, diagnosed his wife with nervous depression. John is the next main character in this short story. As I stated before, he is also a doctor. He seems very oblivious to how his treatment for his wife is not working to well. Jennie is John’s sister.

I believe that the initial plot if this story is the conflict between the woman and her husband.
The struggle between these two is due to the fact that they both have different ideas about what treatment the woman should be on. The woman believes that by staying inside and resting all the time is weakening her more. However, since her husband is her doctor he is the one who is in charge of what treatment should be used, and believes that his wife just needs a lot of rest. However there is also the conflict between the women and the room she has to stay in. The woman does not like the room she has, especially the wallpaper.

Throughout the short story the women becomes obsessed with the wallpaper. She examines it to the point where she starts to have illusions that there is someone in the wallpaper. The climax of this story is when the woman starts to peel of the wallpaper after locking herself in her room. She has come to the point where she believes that someone is trapped within the wallpaper, which she believes later on it is she.

The plot of this short story is about a woman who is being isolated from everything in order to become healthy again. However, what everyone around her does not realize that from being isolated for such a long time, the woman begins to become delusional. The story story’s main themes are isolation and
loneliness.
