Explanation:

"The Yellow Wallpaper" is a short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The narrator is a woman whose creativity has been made captive by her life's circumstances. Her own husband is a sort of master, and she obeys him despite her own wishes. She is a sick woman with a rather wild imagination. Her husband, thinking he knows best, decides which room she should take in their new house. Even though she wants a different room, she complies. It is also interesting to note that he tries to prohibit her from using her imagination, but she rebels and becomes fixated on the wallpaper. The narrator eventually finds her freedom in escaping reality completely.
