Аннотация

Completed in a mere two days, “The Yellow Wallpaper” is a first person narrative describing descent into madness. The story starts with a narrator suffering from a bought of depression, but soon escalates as she begins to see things her room’s yellow wallpaper. With a forcefully domineering husband and medical commentary touching on the historical treatment of women, the story succeeds in being equally identifiable as Gothic horror, psychological horror, and feminist commentary. Gilman’s own interpretation of the story can be found here. In addition, a version of the story staring Agnes Moorehead was performed in 1948 for the CBS radio show Suspense. You can listen to the original recording here.
