The Yellow Wallpaper
The Yellow Wallpaper
Based on Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s writing, The Yellow Wallpaper, surrounding women’s health, motherhood, mental breakdown, and their treatments. Visually portrayed is how the main character feels herself being absorbed and consumed by the pattern of the wallpaper. The wallpaper symbolizes family structure, medicine, and tradition, but more importantly, it symbolizes her personal prison and how she is trapped within domestic life. Symbolism of despair, resentment, and sadness within the floral design shows buttercups, petunias, and rose stems with thorns.
