Character of Yellow Wallpaper
The Narrator’s husband, John is a physician whose practice keeps him very busy and often away for home. I learn that he is a man of science, with no patience for anything that he cannot quantify. He is incapable of taking his wife’s opinion seriously. He is also genuinely concerned for his wife’s health and having decided upon the rest cure developed by Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, he commits himself to enforcing it wholeheartedly with disastrous results.

Vanessa I'm writing my Wikipedia on this story. What I got from the story was the wife is mentally ill. She was seeing a woman in the Wallpaper. At one point I thought she might have been a ghost when he fainting because she mention her husband and another woman's name. The story is crazy.
