Yellow Wallpaper Diary Entry Corrections

Dr. David L. Clark

As I said in class, your edition of Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper treats the short story as a text
that is made up of four separate diary entries, when in fact Gilman meant for there to be twelve.
I’ve marked those separate entries here, and have provided the first words of each diary entry,
followed by the relevant page number in your anthology.

1.     It is very seldom.../77

2.     We have been here two weeks.../80

3.     Well, the Fourth of July is over!/82
4.     I don’t know why I should write.../83
5.     It is so hard to talk with John about my case... /84
6.     On a pattern like this... /85
7.     Life is so very much... /87
8.     I’m feeling so much better.../87
9.     I really have discovered something... /88
10.    I think that woman gets out... /88
11.    If only that top pattern... /89

12.    Hurrah! This is the last day... /89
