Directions: In the appropriate conference on our
class Discussion Board, discuss one or all of the following. 1.
In your own words, describe exactly what is happening in the story.
What is wrong with the narrator? What is the initial cause? What
causes her condition to worsen?
2. What is the significance of the narrator being housed in a former
nursery?
3. What is the symbolism of the yellow wallpaper itself?
4. Read "Undergoing the Cure for Nervous Prostration" and "Why I Wrote
the Yellow Wallpaper" (pp 1496-1499). How does this knowledge of
Gilman's own life inform the story?
