i read this yesterday in the book 'Short Stories from the 19th Century', i gotta say this is the most unforgettable short story i've ever read. So good and i can't believe it's from 1892! Her writing on mental illness is so... top notch.
It's really freaky how accurate it is to this day. The way her spouse really does love her but is too stressed out about the possibility of his cure not working that it leads him to silence her, and her feeling guilt about it and needing to be the stronger person because she doesn't want to worry him, even though she's the one already suffering...
I do wonder if her "tying up" the lady in the wallpaper, was her suicide or attempted suicide, on a second listen, i can hear how much there is actual depression and psychosis slowly happening, and this time i understand the line "i escaped and you cant put me back in the wallpaper" she is stuck in the room that she thinks is for children, treated like a child, and the rest cure makes her go so crazy she 'escapes' by killing herself. Because of post partum depression too
I think what really strikes me about this story is that John truly loves our protagonist and believes he is doing the right thing (when he carries her to bed and reads to her, it's a genuinely sweet gesture) but he's arrogant and assumes he knows better than her. He drives her insane with his love. When you consoder that the author of this story went through a similar ordeal (although fortunately she didn't entirely lose her mind) it makes you wonder how many women had to suffer in the same way due to their supposed "hysteria". And then you consider that their husbands might not have been as well-meaning and loving as John...
I like how instead of changing your voice as the woman's madness deepened, you kept it somewhat the same, only really changing it when her reality shifts slightly, like when she determines to stay and examine the paper. It really emphasizes how she does not think anything is different in her. When she says things like how she keeps seeing women creep about the grounds, you really can picture it because she is describing it so normally. Nicely done :)
Don't know if you'll see this. But you did such a great job reading this. I enjoyed every moment of it and you perfectly encapsulated the woman in the story.
I read this for the first time when I was rather young, and thought it was about ghosts, not madness. It's still as wonderful all these years later ... enjoy! Links to download free epub / Kindle / text / online versions in the description.
Haha, some people just don't get hints. "The wallpaper is driving me crazy, no *really*" Charlotte's inspiration actually came from her own near mental breakdown (influenced by wallpaper? Who knows...) She wrote this story to protest at the medical treatment of women who were mentally ill. In the story she mentions "Weir Mitchell" and that she does not want to go to him; he was in fact a real doctor and apparently she said "the real purpose of the story was to reach Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, and convince him of the error of his ways". When she was ill she was told to rest and live a "domestic life", was not allowed to write, draw or paint and was allowed only two hours of mental stimulation a day. Which made her worse, of course. Do you like any creepy/ghost/horror stories from the past?
That is the beauty of stories, particularly short stories. They can be interpreted many ways. As we grow and read them again, we often discover new things and new ways to interpret them. This story is obviously about the horrors of how mentally ill women were treated and how the old practices actually made them worse. However, if viewed through the protagonist's eye, it really is a ghost story. She truly believes in the woman behind the paper and , in her mind, it has a very real effect on her. This is why I love short fiction.
It’s about her being slowly drove bad by mold spores maybe she has a lowered immune system due to something else but oh my goodness I am living her story
thank you! my teacher wanted us to read this piece but I cannot read in my head and have trouble reading myself because of my attention issues. this is so helpful!!
Absolutely wonderful reading of this story! I'm so glad I came across this. I read this story when I was a young teen and didn't fully understand it, since it seemed like nothing had really happened in the story. Now, upon rereading it a decade and a half later (the audio alongside the text), I have a newfound appreciation for the story's style and context. Thank you for taking the time to record this lovely narration!
@@zero-yj6ho I didn't really feel the intensity of the narrator's isolation and social pressure-the way her husband doesn't want her to write or do anything mentally stimulating. I didn't understand, at thirteen, that any (patriarchy-induced) anxiety in women was historically treated as a mental illness to be "corrected" through a rest cure. It was revolutionary for Gilman to write this story during that time period. I also hadn't realized how the narrator's sister-in-law exhibits internalized misogyny that further subjugates the narrator: "She is a perfect and enthusiastic housekeeper, and hopes for no better profession. I verily believe she thinks it is the writing which made me sick!"
I first read this in 2004 for a college lit class. Almost 20 years later (welp!) it is still one of the most powerful pieces I’ve read. Love your reading.
Such an odd form of treatment. I wasn't aware when I first read this 10years ago but university shed light on the fact that Charlotte Perkins-Gilmen actually went through this treatment for her own postpartum depression. (Little note: there is good reason as to why they DO NOT recommended isolation as a treatment anymore
As a child who faced a lot of neglect and abuse, i would also find faces, movement, scenes within my frosted window panes or popcorn ceilings. I could hear whispers of conversations of those inside the glass, both too fast and too slow. Some winows were my favorite, while other areas of the house were too much. Just like a haunted house.
Now I am a housewife, a caged bird, circling my cage and singing to myself. I've had to cover my mirror in my bedroom; the depersonalization is too much.
As an avid booklet I've probably read hundreds of books and short stories but I can't advertise this as a 13 yr old and have carried it in my heart for over 24 years. Unreliable narrators have become my favorite literary devices to enjoy. Another favorite is Endless Night by Agatha Christie.
This audiobook is well recited. The tone of voice is splendid. Just to note, there is a missing line in the reading. What was not read in "The Yellow Wall-paper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is as follows, "I think sometimes that if I were only well enough to write a little it would relieve the press of ideas and rest me." In the end, I appreciate this audio being available as it is helping me in my American Literature II course. Many thanks.
I’ve read this story a bunch, one of my favorites. I had to read it again for my Lit class. The voice of the narrator for so well! It definitely added something to the story for me!
Thanks a lot for uploading this. I was introduced to the book by Kane Pixels, a creator who makes videos on a similar kind of horror called the "backrooms". The progression is so chilling I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight. Thanks for reading tho! (I'm a big horror fan but I haven't been this impressed in years)
This is the best short story I’ve read so far and I’m so glad I listened to your voice instead of reading it myself because you are brilliant!!!! I loved how sweet and calm and happy you sounded while describing every gloomy thing that happened it elevated the themes of mental illness substantially
We read this in my English class 7 years ago at this point and I still think about it all the time. Truly and amazing story that is timeless. With elements that apply, rather unfortunately, to many aspects of the modern world.
Wait when does she mention that in the game? Or make reference? I’m listening to this for school and love DDLC and never made that connection when I played the game years ago

Thank you Dancing Dove! I really enjoyed this audio of The Yellow Wallpaper! You read it brilliantly and with lovely soft and gentle expression! well done! 🌷❤🌷
I read this a couple years back when i was in highschool and it didn't make a huge impact and coming back and listening to it post-depression her description of her situation hits pretty hard
I'm not listening to this for school but I heard Matpat mention it and I got interested and I'm glad I found out about this story its so interesting and well written
This is a story about play titled The King In Yellow, whereby anyone who reads the play goes mad. We find the main character tuning in to the madness of Hastur from Non-Euclidean truths, and this worries her husband. Yet as it goes on she finds herself as the being she was seeing in the wallpaper all along, and it was the husband with his wife (Julie) who are the new emissaries of madness and devotion to the non-Euclidean geometry, he is so quick to grab the axe towards the end, and you must ask yourself, does a man with an axe then pass out at the sight of his disturbed wife having torn off some of the wallpaper? Why did they keep touching it, why were they complaining about it leaving marks, he is a Dr, is he her husband? This reminds one of The Repairer of Reputations, the first story of The King in Yellow, how odd that I just heard an add on TV now for software security you now pay to protect your reputation socially (that is to say, on social media sites), and was it AI that recommended I listen to this just after The King in Yellow, I don't know why not! I see your Marcus Aurelius video to follow this *HA!* I think to myself I always had a fondness for your characters who were able to fight off the madness, well done! You must read the King In Yellow and everything I have just written will make sense, you must
White lady diagnosed with hysteria and her husband is a doctor so he puts her in a room with yellow wallpaper till she goes crazy and starts hallucinating
great reading - you did skip a line after "So I try" "I think sometimes that if I were only well enough to write a little it would relieve the press of ideas and rest me."
has anyone ever sat here and spoke "The nervousness that would take over her soul when her husband is away could be the reason she would peel at the wallpaper?" I have but I learned something else when she is talking about the wallpaper splintering it's not possible for wallpaper to do that so what could possibly be splinting? It makes me wonder all the time weather or not this lady was generally paranoid from the wallpaper from maybe a past event that may have happened to her. Thats my theory and I'm open to hear what y'all have to say about it.
Follow-up: My high school students listened and read a long with this audio and there was very positive feedback from them as well. After some analysis and vocab study, they plan to go through it again. Thanks for doing this
Thank you so much for telling me that! I'm so glad it was of help. Well, any suggestions for further narrations? I'll let you in on a little secret, I'm recording Wuthering Heights at the moment, but as you might imagine, at approximately 13 hours finished playing time, it's quite the undertaking!
I'll come back with some suggestions, but I'm really glad to hear that you're doing Wuthering Heights because I haven't read that one yet. I'm currently finishing Pride and Prejudice for the first time, and after this, I will read Jane Eyre. But after I'm keen to take down Wuthering Heights so you may be finished by that time. I'll keep watch for it and I'll let you know if I come up with something more for you to consider.
Being a student being forced to read this assignment for school teaches you to hate symbolism. Being a dropout seversl years later is realizing that this is what psychosis looks and feels like when people would rather isolate them than actually help them. This was one of the if not the only story I ever finished, the other being Dracula, in the history of my schooling (9th-college dropout). You start to see patterns in things (for example, the modern equivalent is doom scrolling) and they are a reflection of your internal state interacting with the algorithm. I should honestly just analyze this story fully and post it in the comments here. Just be sure to cite it in MLA lol. If anyone is interested in my analysis of a story that lived rent free in my mind for about 6 years, lmk. I have a lot to say about the yellow wallpaper. Ironically, analyzing it is yellow wallpaper behavior, but frankly deconstructing the yellow wallpaper and why you see what you do within it is how you defeat it inside yourself. It is a reflection of your worst fears, and a Rorschach test of projection.
@@dove4070 I am sorry.. Yes you have..for some reason I didn't scroll up aftr the Hemingway video.. I was actually checking your videos from the beginning. Recently, I really enjoyed the narration of Gaskell's story.. thanks for these gems! Love your work.. !

Thank you so much!
That's very sweet of you to say.
thats what i was thinking!:)

It's remarkable where one's mind can go when being denied one's own reality, in her case, the need to create through writing.
Honestly I expected this to be really boring, but this got really interesting. The author did a great job depicting her descent into madness.
Don't know if you'll see this. But you did such a great job reading this. I enjoyed every moment of it and you perfectly encapsulated the woman in the story.
Thank you Ian!!!
I read this for the first time when I was rather young, and thought it was about ghosts, not madness. It's still as wonderful all these years later ... enjoy!
