Answer:

“The Yellow Wallpaper” is a short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman that describes the narrator’s depression following the birth of her child.

The narrator’s husband, John, a respected physician, diagnoses her behavior as “hysteria” and prescribes rest.

John prohibits the narrator from writing, and she cannot stand to visit her baby.

The narrator spends all day sitting in bed, and she begins to see a woman struggling inside the room’s yellow wallpaper.
