- Yellow Wallpaper Analysis
- Treatment for post natal depression. After the main character loses her baby.
- Always in first person narrative of wife- the patient. Called Jane?
- Desperate to 'escape the wallpaper', progressively loses her mind in the book.
- Controlling husband-John. Dominating, wont let her write.
- Confusing timescale- a loop.
- The house is like a prison, high hedges, gates
- Room damaged from her madness, before she goes mad. Torn wallpaper, 'gauged' floor.
- Keeps a secret diary, form of relief.
- The treatment seems to make her mad, rather than cure it.
- Unreliable narrator, not sure how much is twisted
