    Why I Wrote the Yellow Wallpaper

    Divorcio, 1894
     “There is a recurrent spot where the pattern lolls
    like a broken neck and two bulbous eyes stare at
    you upside down.”

    “He is very careful and loving, and hardly lets me


    stir without special direction. I have a schedule
    prescription for each hour in the day; he takes all
    care from me, and so I feel basely ungrateful not
    to value it more.”
