Exploring the theme of mental health and the constraints placed on women, the narrative follows a woman confined to a room by her husband, purportedly for her well-being. Isolated for three months, she becomes fixated on the room's disturbing yellow wallpaper, symbolizing her struggle against oppression. This powerful short story serves as a critique of 19th-century attitudes towards women's autonomy, illustrating the detrimental effects of enforced domesticity on women's mental and emotional health.
