The narrator’s declining mental health is reflected though the characteristics of the house she is trapped in and her husband, while trying to protect her, is actually destroying her. The narrator of the story goes with her doctor/husband to stay in a colonial mansion for the summer. The house is supposed to be a place where she can recover from severe postpartum depression. She loves her baby, but knows she is not able to take care of him. “It is fortunate Mary is so good with the baby. Such a dear baby! And yet I cannot be with him, it makes me so nervous”(Gilman 293).

They were lying on a dirty floor, with musty air everywhere. "Where are we?" Robin asked. "Oh no, we're here! The house of that madman!" Christina yelled. A light turned on in a corner. A throaty voice said, "Are you talking about me? I appreciate the compliment, but flattery will get you nowhere." He grinned and ...

Mark hesitated as he poured the methylated spirits on it, but Trent hurried him as he saw the lights in the house turn on. I stared at the lights for a moment and then whispered, "You guys wait up the road, just in case they give chase, you'll get a head-start." They started jogging up ... shooting hundreds of people, then myself. I could see myself lighting a petrol bomb and throwing it into a crowd, burning people just for fun.
