    When “The Yellow Wall Paper” was first written it was understood as a horror story; Society at the time did not understand its true meaning until later on in history. Gilman‚ the author of “The Yellow Wall Paper”‚ never intended his story to be Gothic Horror‚ but with the story being focused around the mental illness of a woman‚ many viewed it as just that.
