The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman — Review


The short story, “The Yellow Wallpaper”, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is about a mentally unstable lady who examines the yellow wallpaper in the bedroom of a rented house. The author created a very oppressive, unpleasant but also very intriguing atmosphere.

 

During the narration, the story gradually builds up and increases the tension. In the end, it already seems that the words are electrified. The meaning in the text is very important. Finally, it left behind a very oppressive feeling.


Here is the link to the text of the story:
