        <description><![CDATA[Considering “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Gillman as an example of post partum depression is an interesting concept. The story points at the patronizing and dismissive attitude of the husband and the male doctors is appalling. And yet in today’s society, it is perhaps an attitude that is still prevalent.  After having my three daughters, I suffered mild post partum depression. Fortunately, I had both a husband and a mother who...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[What is also fascinating in the story is that the narrator has points where she is indeed lucid and can function perfectly well. What I found most distressing is that with post partum depression you are 'not mad all of the time' for want of another expression. Women are certainly capable of functioning at many daily tasks - I know women who have held very responsible and influential job positions - and yet there are areas of delusion that...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This is a deliciously beefy question! Thanks for asking!
The answer is a tripartite combination of perspectives. Through the eyes of the main character, the first perspective, the argument is completely valid. She is a woman suffering from an extreme case of post partum depression. Although it is arguable to say that she is not in a "right state of mind", it is also safe to affirm that (within her circumstances) her fears, tribulations, and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Mansion adds to the Gothic sub genre and macabre subject matter, it sets a tone of  the house almost being huanted, as the narrator states in the beginning of the story.
Hope this helps]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The narrator had just had a baby, and afterwards, had been feeling down and depressed.  Today, we know this as post-partum depression; in her day, it was labelled as an unknown "temporary nervous depression."  Her husband, a doctor, determines that she needs to get away from her busy life and rest.  He chooses to rent out an old colonial mansion in the countryside.  Supposedly, the removal from busy pressures and responsibilities of her...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[John totally dominates the narrator of the story. She is immensely proud of him in the beginning -

John is practical in the extreme...John is a physician.

She is however, distressed that his diagnosis and treatment of her post natal depression is wrong, but as a mere woman she is powerless to protest-

If a physician of high standing, and one's own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As the story progresses, the woman in the wallpaper increasingly represents the narrator's deteriorating mind, and is a symbol of her own feeling of being trapped and imprisoned by her family and circumstances.
Notice at the beginning of the story she does not see a woman in wallpaper; rather, she focus on its ugliness, on how it is "an artistic sin."  But as she is forced to spend more time in the horrid room, alone, separated from her work,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[About halfway through the story the author descirbes a "funny mark on the wall...that runs around the room."  She tells that it encircles the room except for the portion of the wall that the bed is up against.  She wonders who or what did it, then later in the story she ties herself to the bed and crawls around and around the room at the same height of the smudge on the wall.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Narator of the story is suffering from post-pardom depression. Her husband thought it would be a good idea for her to not see her baby while she was still ill. So instead of seeing the room as a prison which it is. She sees it in the eyes of the thigs she misses she immagines (becuse she is a writer and often makes things better than they seem) that the room is a nusery, the wall paper is torn becuase of children ripping it, bites on the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Since the narrator is cooped up in this room for most of her day and all night, the views out the window are one of the few things that she has to look at.  Other than the wallpaper, which eventually becomes her entire focus, of course.  One of the reasons that her husband, John, put her in that room in the first place is because downstairs "there was only one window," and upstairs, there are four, so he feels it will do her better, because...]]></description>
