Abstract

In Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story "The Yellow Wallpaper", elements of horror and suspense are deeply connected to the anxiety and resistance of women under gender oppression. This paper interprets "The Yellow Wallpaper" from the perspective of female psychoanalysis in the socio-historical context and argues that the elements of "uncanny" in the short story, such as "confined space", "recurrence of the repressed" and the "double", have the significance of reflecting the crisis of female identity, exposing the shortcomings of patriarchal society and constructing the image of "new woman".
