I'm sorry, you will need to provide the answer choices in your posts.

"The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a short story that explores the damaging effects of gender roles and societal expectations on women's mental health. The central idea of the text is that when women are denied agency and autonomy, forced into passive roles, and subjected to patriarchal oppression, their mental and emotional well-being can be severely impacted. The narrator's descent into madness is a direct result of the stifling social norms and restrictions placed on her as a woman in the late 19th century. The story critiques the prevalent beliefs about women's inferiority and their supposed weakness and highlights the need for women's independence and self-expression to ensure their mental and emotional well-being.
