Madness Within The Walls: Theme
In The Yellow Wallpaper the main character goes insane while trapped in her room. She thinks she sees things in the wallpaper. Her mood fluctuates drastically throughout the story. One minute she would be in love with the garden, then the next she would loathe it. (Gilman 1) Being locked in a room all by yourself would drive you to the break insanity. Throughout the story the main character was becoming more and more mad. "The narrator’s rich imagination might have found a productive and
healthy outlet in her writing, but being forced to repress her
imagination instead leads her to madness." (Shmoop, 1)
