"The Yellow Wallpaper" is short story, but it feels like it goes on forever. Despite that, I found myself drawn to its themes. It really makes you think about mental health, gender roles, and societal pressures. It's one of those books that gets better the more you analyse it. So, while it might seem like a bit of a drag at first, it's definitely worth the deep dive. After i finished this book I watched a few videos analysing the themes of the novel. With this new found knowledge, I believe I would enjoy this book more if I reread it
