The Yellow Wallpaper was a fantastic short story that showed confusion, heartbreak and loneliness. The Yellow Wallpaper was written by the woman who goes by the name of Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The main characters for this short story are the Narrators who’s a female that might or not might go by the name of Jane. John, the narrator’s husband and Jennie, John’s sister. The Yellow Wallpaper was written from Charlotte when she at the time suffered from a personal mental illness she was going through, she was diagnosed with postpartum depression.

During the day she just see an ordinary yellow wallpaper that is slightly smelly, discolored and torn on the sides but at night as the narrator says “At night in any kind of light, in twilight, candlelight, lamplight, and worst of all by moonlight, it becomes bars! The outside pattern I mean, and the woman behind it is as plain as can be.” This yellow wallpaper is so important in this story as it explains who she is and why it’s so significant with her.

This is why a lot of them have mental issues and a lack of self-confidence. Charlotte was giving the women community a voice with this story that she knew she was too weak to leave but knowing someone who reads it actually might have the courage to do something for all women in the future. I really respected Charlotte as a writer and a woman, she was mentally strong and weak at the same time but it created another Charlotte that only she can change herself and that is why she is a good role model for all girls and
