I
really liked this short story. It was
very dark, but things about mental illness/madness/insanity have always been
oddly fascinating to me. The woman’s
slow descent into madness is described very well, as is her growing obsession
with the woman in the yellow wallpaper.
What is especially tragic about this story is the fact that her husband
really did love and care about her – and he truly thought he was helping
her. It wasn’t like he locked her up
there so she would be in misery; he tried to save her, but it ultimately just
made her condition so much worse.
