The Yellow Wallpaper Character Analysis Depression: feelings of severe despondency and dejection. Whenever in a state of serious grief, you expect support, love, and as much attention as needed, but in the case of our narrator (most likely named “Jane”), she did not receive that. Our narrator was practically abused and ignored in a manner of serious depression, and was later led to schizophrenia. If I had to describe her character, I would say she is a very dynamic protagonist, because of how she develops throughout the story, both with her depression and how she delves into madness. To describe the story, it tells about a woman and her husband staying in a new house for a few weeks, and during this time the wife is very mentally ill.
