This paper analyzes the Yellow Wallpaper. It begins with the problem of postpartum blues and shows how the narrator takes the reader through the process of depression that changes reality. Charlotte Perkins Gilmans short story, The Yellow Wall Paper, is about a woman with nervous problems who has been instructed by her husband who is a physician to rest. The rest cure drives the woman into more depression until the final day when her husband finds her entirely insane. The narrator reveals how the woman suffers a mild case of depression or nervousness, but the more time she reflects on the yellow wallpaper the more she begins to change reality into a fantasy world of being insane.
