The model millionaire – Oscar Wilde
The model millionaire is a short story written by Oscar Wilde in 1871. The theme of the short story deals with a very materialistic aspect of life in a mercantile world in which the protagonist Hughie Erskine is a complete misfit. Despite of the attractive appearance and charming personality, his lack of money prohibits him from marrying the girl he loves – Laura. Her father demands a total of £10.000 to prove his worth to him and accept him as a son in law. The demand is only of economical character, because of the fact that Hughie quick and easily achieved the acceptance of the father as a person. This issue defines the very essence of the short story, of which it becomes clear that "romance is the privilege of the rich, not the profession of the unemployed."

The story is based on the author's personal life, when after giving birth to her daughter, the author felt into a severe case of depression. Although "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a fictional work, it is based upon that personal even in Gilman's life.
That is why the use of the first-point of view is so important for the story. The author knew that by telling the story through the sufferer's point of view, the reader would be able to experience the same thoughts and emotions that the main character was suffering while falling into madness. She used the first-person point of view to describe in a natural and personal way the whole process of a mental breakdown.
