The Yellow Wallpaper from the Point of View of a Doctor's Wife. "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, is a story told from the first person point of view of a doctor's wife who has nervous condition. The first person standpoint gives the reader access only to the woman's thoughts, and thus, is limited.
