Who Is The Narrator In The Yellow Wallpaper

The Yellow Wallpaper written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a story in which the narrator remains unnamed throughout the entire novel. What we know about the narrator is that she is female, married to a man named John who is also her doctor, she is also suffering from either nervous depression or post-partum depression. The thing that is special about this novel is that the narrator is secretly writing all of this in her journal to express herself, since she is belittled to little to no activity what so ever. Since she is unnamed, let’s just refer to her as Jane. That is the name most popular given to her by others than the Author Charlotte.
The main subject that Jane talks about or writes about is the yellow wallpaper. She is very disturbed
She says how she doesn't want to go there and ever since he told her that she has been crying when no one else is around, when she is alone(Gilman-4).

Usually a husband is there to support his wife in her time of need and is a shoulder for her to cry on. Yet she doesn’t or isn’t able to. She then begins to see things that are clearly unreal such as the women who lurks in her room at night(Gilman-6). I believe her breakdown and depression is the cause of this.
She really never tells us what is wrong with her throughout the story because she probably doesn’t know what is wrong with her either. I don’t think she is dealing with being suicidal since she never really shows signs of it. Depression is a totally different thing than that. She is really never clear in to what is truly going on and she does not even know where her husband John goes throughout the day and her life is just a sad mess. The only things that bring her the slightest bit of joy and expression is the wallpaper and her hidden
