Stetson's Point Of View In The Yellow Wallpaper

Within the mind of the Narrator, she would always admit to the reader that she has a mental illness. Throughout “The Yellow Wallpaper”, Stetson explained the story in First Person, as if it was a diary, and it showed how she was slowly going insane with the wallpaper in the baby’s room.
