Shares a similar experience to Louise Mallard, but in a different situation and ending. The character also suffers from some sort of mental condition that her husband, who is also her doctor, calls a "temporary nervous depression". She will spend the summer with her husband so that his condition improves. Her husband John also prescribed the rest cure for her good. She is confined to bed rest in a former nursery with yellow wallpaper. This is where the narrator will begin to experience changes as he explains the "text" hidden in the yellow background. She starts by explaining every detail she doesn't like about the wallpaper and even makes a comparison to how she understands why kids never liked a room like this. First of all she didn't like the house, secondly she didn't like the room she had chosen and finally she couldn't do any of the activities she liked. She would try to refrain from saying anything to her husband because, as he is the doctor, he wins all arguments. These are simply stated facts that we know will turn her from bad to worse. She suffers from some sort of mental disorder and is placed in a place where she doesn't feel comfortable. "There are things in that newspaper that no one knows except me, or will ever know."”
