I don't care if I was assigned to read this by my English teacher, this is one of my favorite short stories

My imagination when I first read this book was that the "yellow wallpaper" was actually her sickly/possibly-self-harmed skin, (that's why it's a nasty yellow color with burnt orange spots that are almost red in places) with her fingerprints and skin texture being the "maddening pattern". That's why her husband faints at the end, because she has ripped her skin off.

when my teacher say “read the yellow wallpaper” ok i’ll “read it”

I love how well your voice fits this role. Idk if that sounds weird, but it just completes the story so perfectly AAAAHHHH

the way you read her character sounding all sweet and gentle makes me all the more terrified knowing that something horrible will happen. great job!

It's remarkable where one's mind can go when being denied one's own reality, in her case, the need to create through writing.

i read this yesterday in the book 'Short Stories from the 19th Century', i gotta say this is the most unforgettable short story i've ever read. So good and i can't believe it's from 1892! Her writing on mental illness is so... top notch.

We're all here for 2020 English class huh

Such an odd form of treatment. I wasn't aware when I first read this 10years ago but university shed light on the fact that Charlotte Perkins-Gilmen actually went through this treatment for her own postpartum depression. (Little note: there is good reason as to why they DO NOT recommended isolation as a treatment anymore

thank you! my teacher wanted us to read this piece but I cannot read in my head and have trouble reading myself because of my attention issues. this is so helpful!!

I like how instead of changing your voice as the woman's madness deepened, you kept it somewhat the same, only really changing it when her reality shifts slightly, like when she determines to stay and examine the paper. It really emphasizes how she does not think anything is different in her. When she says things like how she keeps seeing women creep about the grounds, you really can picture it because she is describing it so normally. Nicely done :)

Interesting reading this for English on quarantine

Don't know if you'll see this. But you did such a great job reading this. I enjoyed every moment of it and you perfectly encapsulated the woman in the story.

Honestly I expected this to be really boring, but this got really interesting. The author did a great job depicting her descent into madness.

This audiobook is well recited. The tone of voice is splendid. Just to note, there is a missing line in the reading. What was not read in "The Yellow Wall-paper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is as follows, "I think sometimes that if I were only well enough to write a little it would relieve the press of ideas and rest me." In the end, I appreciate this audio being available as it is helping me in my American Literature II course. Many thanks.

As a child who faced a lot of neglect and abuse, i would also find faces, movement, scenes within my frosted window panes or popcorn ceilings. I could hear whispers of conversations of those inside the glass, both too fast and too slow. Some winows were my favorite, while other areas of the house were too much. Just like a haunted house.

I read this for the first time when I was rather young, and thought it was about ghosts, not madness. It's still as wonderful all these years later ... enjoy! Links to download free epub / Kindle / text / online versions in the description.

I first read this in 2004 for a college lit class. Almost 20 years later (welp!) it is still one of the most powerful pieces I’ve read. Love your reading.

Absolutely wonderful reading of this story! I'm so glad I came across this. I read this story when I was a young teen and didn't fully understand it, since it seemed like nothing had really happened in the story. Now, upon rereading it a decade and a half later (the audio alongside the text), I have a newfound appreciation for the story's style and context. Thank you for taking the time to record this lovely narration!

" Please read: 'The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman (I know it's a bit long, but it's fairly easy and quickly read)." -My english teacher 2k20 xd

Thanks a lot for uploading this. I was introduced to the book by Kane Pixels, a creator who makes videos on a similar kind of horror called the "backrooms". The progression is so chilling I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight. Thanks for reading tho! (I'm a big horror fan but I haven't been this impressed in years)

Newly diagnosed with ADHD, and trying audio with visual this term. Thank you for reading!

Omg. This was my first experience of this story and my mind is blown. I need to sit down...

I’ve read this story a bunch, one of my favorites. I had to read it again for my Lit class. The voice of the narrator for so well! It definitely added something to the story for me!

What a great story, the author is pure genius and your voice fits the role perfectly! You really brought this book to life, thank you!

I have to write an essay and this is the easiest way to do it

I love the symbolism. "You can't put me back!".. I am woman, hear me roar.

You really have a marvelous. Voice you helped me save a lot of time with this audio

Were going to the complex with this one🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯

so wonderfully narrated, it added to my reading experience. Amazing!

A beautiful reading. Perfect tone. Thank you.

Incredible read, I love how you go from sounding so calm and collective to shaky and insane. Very well done.

Out of all the books I’ve had to read for school, this is the best one by Miles, and your voice is just so perfect, so thank you

Your reading is indeed splendid, thank you for your efforts 😊

Thank you Dancing Dove! I really enjoyed this audio of The Yellow Wallpaper! You read it brilliantly and with lovely soft and gentle expression! well done! 🌷❤🌷

Thank you very much your voice is amazing and fit really well with story.

Very well read. I read along with you. Quite a beautiful voice you have

Beautifully read!

God bless you dear! Thanks for your Beautiful voice.

We read this in my English class 7 years ago at this point and I still think about it all the time. Truly and amazing story that is timeless. With elements that apply, rather unfortunately, to many aspects of the modern world.

one of the few stories I actually enjoyed listening to, great job

Read this in 2017/2018 for highschool English class and still go back to reread/listen every year one of my favorites

I must say I was not expecting that ending, bravo

I read this in my early college days. The Clancy case has brought me back.

I love your voice!!!! makes the story so engaging and your accent is absolutely adorable and fitting

this is my favorite piece of literature, and your voice fits it so well! your voice is so beautiful and melodious :3

I remember this in my high school class way back then. Never finished it. Glad i did now

The most perfect narrator EVER for this story!!

Amazing voice and you made it so good

As an avid booklet I've probably read hundreds of books and short stories but I can't advertise this as a 13 yr old and have carried it in my heart for over 24 years. Unreliable narrators have become my favorite literary devices to enjoy. Another favorite is Endless Night by Agatha Christie.

Me when I hear “wallpaper”: Me when I hear “yellow”: Me when I hear “yellow wallpaper”: 🔪👁👄👁🔫 oh no (the backrooms)

Had to "read" this for English class but it was actually quite enjoyable, love your voice! ❤

Monika sent me here, and I'm glad she did. Good story, and wonderfully read

What a progressive, ahead-of-its-time story. Has the same social commentary type of jolt as Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery".

Wonderful reading!

I read this a couple years back when i was in highschool and it didn't make a huge impact and coming back and listening to it post-depression her description of her situation hits pretty hard

This was the only audiobook I was able to follow, enjoy and understand... still kinda confused on the story itself tho...

i love your voice. it’s so soothing :)

Nice to see they got Wolfychu to narrate this

You have an absolutely gorgeous voice, OMG

I think this was the inspiration for a Twilight zone episode when they rebooted it in the '80s.

Ok but this is actually such a good reading of it

I do wonder if her "tying up" the lady in the wallpaper, was her suicide or attempted suicide, on a second listen, i can hear how much there is actual depression and psychosis slowly happening, and this time i understand the line "i escaped and you cant put me back in the wallpaper" she is stuck in the room that she thinks is for children, treated like a child, and the rest cure makes her go so crazy she 'escapes' by killing herself. Because of post partum depression too

Whos here because of your teacher said to read the story about the yellow wallpaper?? HAHAHAHA

I love your voice so much!! 10/10

I'm not listening to this for school but I heard Matpat mention it and I got interested and I'm glad I found out about this story its so interesting and well written

Really nice reading of this iconic story. Thanks

you are an excellent narrator! I'm definitely subscribing :)

i have not stopped thinking about her since i read this years ago…she is JUST like me

listen to this while playing games with Sound set to 0 its amazing now nothing can stop me from playing while doing my homework for the exam LOL

You sound so lovely. Thanks.

you literally have the most perfect voice for this

I like listening to stories while reading it at the same time, thank you for this! However, I must note you've skipped a sentence at 8:44.

What a great listen.

great reading - you did skip a line after "So I try" "I think sometimes that if I were only well enough to write a little it would relieve the press of ideas and rest me."

Thank you!!!!

The….. Backrooms?

Fascinating story. Why are there so many teenagers in the comment section. It serves little useful purpose for young people to read this type of stuff.

thank you

I think what really strikes me about this story is that John truly loves our protagonist and believes he is doing the right thing (when he carries her to bed and reads to her, it's a genuinely sweet gesture) but he's arrogant and assumes he knows better than her. He drives her insane with his love. When you consoder that the author of this story went through a similar ordeal (although fortunately she didn't entirely lose her mind) it makes you wonder how many women had to suffer in the same way due to their supposed "hysteria". And then you consider that their husbands might not have been as well-meaning and loving as John...

Hey! My favorite just popped up COOL 💥💥💥

People who came here for English hw 👇

2022 English 112, I appreciate this because I cannot read in my head let alone keep focused on words on a page

This woman hates this wallpaper so much 😭

It is the place it is the feeling it is the embrace. It is all.

Goated I was not tryna read this one

I have to read this for my AP lit class.

Beautifull story!

If you look at the wallpaper at 22 minutes in and slightly shake your phone it makes the figure in the wallpaper move.

reading this for my CIS literature class

Narration is giving Luna Lovegood

Only way I’m passing college

This is a story about play titled The King In Yellow, whereby anyone who reads the play goes mad. We find the main character tuning in to the madness of Hastur from Non-Euclidean truths, and this worries her husband. Yet as it goes on she finds herself as the being she was seeing in the wallpaper all along, and it was the husband with his wife (Julie) who are the new emissaries of madness and devotion to the non-Euclidean geometry, he is so quick to grab the axe towards the end, and you must ask yourself, does a man with an axe then pass out at the sight of his disturbed wife having torn off some of the wallpaper? Why did they keep touching it, why were they complaining about it leaving marks, he is a Dr, is he her husband? This reminds one of The Repairer of Reputations, the first story of The King in Yellow, how odd that I just heard an add on TV now for software security you now pay to protect your reputation socially (that is to say, on social media sites), and was it AI that recommended I listen to this just after The King in Yellow, I don't know why not! I see your Marcus Aurelius video to follow this *HA!* I think to myself I always had a fondness for your characters who were able to fight off the madness, well done! You must read the King In Yellow and everything I have just written will make sense, you must

Nice 👌👌

Unintentional asmr. Your voice is very beautiful

I am one of those AP Literature teachers who assigned this for their class. You’re welcome.

This scared the beejezus outta me the first time I heard it.

Is this Luna lovegood?

Lovely.
