In the story The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Stetson, the narrator, seems to be going “crazy” as time goes on. John her husband does not believe she is sick, the woman claims that she is sick. Her husband claims that she has mass hysteria and tells her to rest. She takes phosphates, tonics, and ordered to rest until she is well again. However, this “sickness” that she has is not of the physical but of the mental. Her husband does not believe her and she is taken by her husband to a country house where she can recuperate from a nervous condition. Here the woman sees a yellow wallpaper and she is thoroughly disgusted by the sight of it. She tells her husband she wants to go downstairs “there are such pretty rooms there” (Page 649).
