The Yellow Wallpaper

The Yellow Wallpaper written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is suchhhh a good story. I'm pretty sure many of you have read it so please tell me what you think.
My English teacher told me it's up to us to decide whether the whole story really happened or the the writer used it to symbolize her escape from the oppression of her husband...
The writer clearly had postpartum depression.

I'm absolutely in love with this story

You know, I remember reading this in high school but I forgot everything about it. Let me read it again and I'll get back to you.

I didn't realize it was as short as it was. I find it bothersome.

I LOVE this story! I haven't read it in quite some time but it's traditional Gothic at its best. I heard somewhere that they were turning it into a movie but I'm not sure how well that panned out.
