1892: The Yellow Tapestry is the concealed diary of a woman compelled to undergo country rest therapy for a "nervous condition." It was PPD. They forbade her from writing and prescribed absolute inactivity. Beyond the hypnotic weaving of the faded yellow tapestry, the protagonist creates her own life. The Yellow Tapestry stands out for the strength of its witness to women's need for independence and self-empowerment.

The protagonist feels trapped by her life, her spouse, and everyone around her as she spends more and more time in the chamber her husband has provided her. Can't stop glancing at the wallpaper. She sees a woman behind bars trying to escape from her.

As the only protagonist, the reader only knows the narrator from her diary entries. The story's message is confined within the narrator's thoughts, not her spouse or his sister.

The woman exposes more about herself and her environment. He rejects any concerns or ideas that she may have, claiming that he knows more about what is convenient for her as a doctor, and calling her names given to a girl.

Even though the story is short, it is full of vivid imagery. There's a panicky feeling in the air and a want to get out of that horrible yellow tapestry. When she loses herself in the patterns, she believes there is someone beyond the tapestry mocking her from a similar jail. You're paralyzed by the end. With a sad tone, you sympathize with the protagonist. This is a horror story. In the end, the reader must decide if the words on the yellow paper are metaphorical or real. Similarly, did the heroine go insane, or was it all in her head?

Hope this helps
