Answer:

Explanation:

In "The Yellow Wallpaper," we encounter the story of a woman who is sick. Her husband, who is a doctor, believes that the best treatment for her would be silence and solitude. However, this lack of mental stimulation only makes the woman's condition worse. The story is told from the first-person point of view, and this allows us to better understand everything that goes through the woman's mind. Moreover, it allows us to understand her journey, as she slowly loses her mind.
