How would you describe a medical hospital room?

How does the author describe her room In the Yellow Wall-paper?

  • Answer:

    "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a short story by Charlotte P. Gilman, as a collection of 1st person journal entries written by a woman whose physician husband has confined her to the upstairs bedroom of a house that he has rented for the summer. With nothing to stimulate her, she becomes obsessed by the pattern & color of the wallpaper. "It is the strangest yellow, that wall-paper! It makes me think of all the yellow things I ever saw - not beautiful ones like buttercups, but old foul, bad yellow things. But there is something else about that paper-the smell!" It has a "breakneck" scrawling pattern. Its decent into madness.
