	SparkNotes: The Yellow Wallpaper: Themes, Motifs, and Symbols
		In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” Gilman uses the conventions of the psychological horror tale to critique the position of women within the institution of marriage, especially as practiced by the “respectable” classes of her time.
		“The Yellow Wallpaper” is driven by the narrator’s sense that the wallpaper is a text she must interpret, that it symbolizes something that affects her directly.

	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: The Yellow Wallpaper Study Guide - Major Themes
		In "The Yellow Wallpaper," wallpaper, a usually feminine, floral decoration on the interior of walls, is a symbol of female imprisonment within the domestic sphere (see Female imprisonment in the domestic sphere, below).
		Though she must crawl around the room, as the woman in the wallpaper crawls around, this "creeping" is the first stage in a feminist uprising; though the early feminists had to hide in the shadows, they paved the way for later generations to walk with heads held high.
		Just as the woman in the wallpaper is imprisoned within a symbol of the feminine domestic sphere (see Feminism and the yellow wallpaper, above), in which women are expected only to clean the house and take care of the children, the narrator is trapped within her prison-like room and mansion.

	Gilman, "Yellow Wallpaper"
		"The Yellow Wallpaper" is a testament to Gilman's own life experience and in reading it there is a feeling of the tough decisions she made in her life and the impact those decisions had on her emotionally and mentally.
		This article explores the form and ‘queerness’ of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper.” Crewe asserts that “beyond her own revolt against the therapy to which she is subjected, the protagonist becomes the exemplary subject of power/knowledge as her ‘madness’ progresses” (274).
		First of all, "Gilman's yellow room parallels Bronte's red room: both are large rooms located in the upper regions of the house; a massive bed is the focal point of both; and the intimidating color of each alters as various lights play on it" (32).

	Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper"
		The wallpaper creatures anger her with their "impertinence"; this is the first time she mentions them crawling around the room.
		In addition, the images she uses to describe the wallpaper are becoming more fantastic: "bloated curves and flourishes-- a kind of ‘debased Romanesque’ with delirium tremens" "waddling up and down in isolated columns of fatuity".
		By daylight, the underlaying pattern is so complex that it keeps the woman in the wallpaper "quiet"; the protagonist notes that the confusion of the pattern itself is so puzzling that it keeps her quiet by the hour, too.

		At last she forges a kind of alliance with this submerged figure, struggling to free her imprisoned counterpart by tearing away the wallpaper that confines them both and moving toward a form of self-cure that her doctors never dreamed of.
		My first response to considering the novella The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman as a potential libretto was that it was certainly "operatic" in that it was fraught with intense emotion that culminated in an "operatic" scene of madness.
		I used a line from Gilman about the wallpaper being a "map of the world" as an apotheosis of all she had realized in the time she was shut up in her room.

	The T. Rex Essay - Metaphor in "The Yellow Wallpaper"
		The pattern on the wallpaper represents to the narrator and to the reader the male-dominated society that is depriving the narrator of her freedom.
		The pattern in the wallpaper is not just an innocent pattern for a children's room as it is first introduced to the reader, but rather it has a mind-numbing quality that readily attracts the projections of the unbalanced mind.
		While "The Yellow Wallpaper" can be taken literally as a horror story with a great narrative drive and a shocking ending, to read it only on a surface level is to miss the deeper meaning of this masterpiece.

		Five years later, Gilman published the novella, The Yellow Wallpaper, a slightly veiled polemic against Weir Mitchell (the physician is even mentioned explicitly in the text) and the "cure" to female depression and hysteria that he advocated.
		On the one hand, there is the language of the yellow wallpaper, which spreads its sprawling patterns, its fecundating, fungoid forms, all over the room in which the narrator is confined-this is clearly representative of the language of medicine and maleness.
		Little known in the century in which it was written, The Yellow Wallpaper was rediscovered in the late twentieth century and has become what is easily one of the most "over-interpreted" works of fiction in the last few decades.

		These effects are recorded through the shapes and figures that manifest through the ghastly yellow wallpaper, which is intended to beautify the room but actually represents prison bars in a different form.
		The narrative voice is a repressed woman of the late 19th century, locked in a room with horrid yellow wallpaper, expected by her husband to recover from a mysterious sickness.

		This small tome features Charlotte Perkins Gilman's most famous story, "The Yellow Wallpaper" (first published in 1899), along with a selection of fiction (seven short stories and several excerpts from "Herland") and non-fiction (excerpts from "Women and Economics: A Study of the Economic Relation Between Men and Women" and "The Man-made World: Our Androcentric Culture").
		According to the blurb on the back of the book, the author was an "enormously influential American feminist and sociologist", so it's no surprise to find that all her writing -- fiction and non-fiction alike -- concerns itself with the state of women in the early Twentieth Century.
		Forced to stay inside for lots of rest (the worst possible thing for depression, I might add!), the narrator's mind is left to wander and before too long she begins to think that the ugly yellow wallpaper that lines her room has a life of its own...
