The yellow wallpaper

The room is old. The room is also a very large one, occupying almost an entire floor, with several windows that let in air and sunshine. The narrator thinks that the room was used first as a nursery, then as a playroom and finally as a gym. There are bars on the windows and rings hanging on the walls. The room feels like a prison. It is withered and worn with sickly yellow wallpaper. The room becomes an extension of the narrator’s depression and downward emotional spiral.
