the yellow wallpaper

This was easily my favorite story of the course for a few reasons and took me 2 reads to process.

I based my research paper on "The Yellow Wallpaper" because of the fact that when I first read I felt like it was based more on her Postpartum depression than anything else.

Upon second read I caught on to the connection between her obsession with the wallpaper and issues in her relationship. I then realized the story had more to do with women and the way they were treated in that time frame than anything else.

It was a well put together story and really shined a light on how far we've come since the time period in which it was written.
