The yellow wallpaper

That was a very strange story about a woman who was living in a house with her husband and her sister in law and her baby. She was ill, but she didn’t think that. Her husband was a doctor that was a big problem, because this man tried to safe his wife from everything. At the beginning of the story the woman loves him a lot, but this love turns to hatred. I don’t think that house was a clinic or something, because in a normal house the owners don’t fix the bed to the floor. This woman had a lot of psychological problems after the pregnant session. The writer tried to show the women’s life in the 19’s century. In those times women did not have any rights or something. This story shows that. John, the woman’s husband, “chained” his wife to their house. This girl’s only happiness is the writing her diary and the wallpaper on the wall. She saw a woman on the wall. That woman was her free self. In the first period she wants to leave this house but later she doesn’t want to move anywhere. Maybe she loved that place. I don’t think so. She does not want to fight with her husband. I think she got bored with that and her life too.
