Written in 1892 about the wife of a doctor who has some mental health issues happening that her doctor husband diagnoses as temporary depresh with hysterical tendencies because...1892. Anyway, they go away to a summer home where dear husband orders the wife to do nothing. At all. Just like, sleep. Make sure you don't do anything, especially, writing in that journal you love so much. Doing nothing will cure the crazies. So she spends all her time in a room, writing in her journal anyway because damn the man, with yellow wallpaper on the walls that has a crazy pattern on it that makes her crazier.
