"The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Gilman is a sad story of the repression that women face in the days of late 1800s as well as being representative of the turmoil’s that women face today. Gilman writes "The Yellow Wallpaper" from her own personal experiences of having to face the overwhelming fact that this is a male dominated society and how women suffer because of it. ... The story mentions that she has an older brother who is also a physician and concurs with her husband’s theory, thus leaving her no choice but to subject herself to this torment of being totally alone in his room with the yellow wallpaper. She stares at this wallpaper for hours on end and thinks she sees a woman behind the paper. ... The narrator with absolutely nothing else to do is reduced to staring endlessly at a pattern in wallpaper, thus creating some image that she feels is necessary to find out. ... I wonder if they all come out of that wallpaper as I did? ... ” The symbolic yellow wallpaper has now brought us back to show the repercussions that the care of her "all knowing" husband has inflicted upon her. ... Now she creeps openly because of the yellow wallpaper.
