The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

In this story the narrator is a young wife who is staying in a rental house. She is suffering from depression, so her husband keeps her in the same room with only him and his sister to visit her. Hiding her writing she tells of the wallpaper that lines the walls of her room. Throughout the story she tells of the women she sees trapped in the wall paper at night and during the day is able to creep around. Eventually she becomes obsessed and fixated with the paper and at the end of the story she locks herself in the room and tears off the paper and strangles herself.

Comments
I see the woman in the wall to represent the narrator. On the outer most appearance she seems like a quiet mosey woman and the woman in the wallpaper is her tring to breakout of her shell. In the end she does break out but it lead to her down fall.
