"The Yellow Wallpaper" is a too unknown classic. The main character suffers from a depression after giving birth. Her husband, a doctor, brings her to a cottage to get rest. They sleep in a room with a yellow wallpaper of a wild pattern. She doesn't get cured, watching the pattern and not being allowed to go out actually make her go insane. . What first feels like pure gothic fiction in the manner of E. A. Poe, is actually deeper, it's an important work for feminism. Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote it in 1892, also to show that the patriarchy, which tells women to rest and not go out and find intellectual stimulation, actually makes them go crazy and not silent. To say that a female mind has the same value as any other human mind. I had to read about that motive in an article, because I didn't see it first. . What I saw was how the exact observations by the main character went so far that she couldn't differ between reality and imagination anymore. A strong phantasy becomes a fatality here, a slide deeper into the disease, since she wasn't given the chance to rise. Gilman portrayed that so precisely, the words are weighed by hand. With a great ending at the highest point, but carefully described. I love presentations of madness, mostly when they are written in an investigated way. So good! I immediately read this story twice. . #theyellowwallpaper #yellowwallpaper #charlotteperkinsgilman #gilman #diegelbetapete #dörlemannverlag #literature #igreads #guyswhoread #gayswhoread #instagood #beautiful #photooftheday #visualsoflife #leseempfehlung #литература #букстаграм #желтыеобои #шарлоттаперкинсгилман #новелла https://www.instagram.com/p/CM-GtZthRoM/?igshid=nz82wlck4mk1
