I really enjoyed this story. Gilman sets up brilliantly the conflict of binaries: to name a few; man/woman sanity/insanity freedom/confinement husband/wife doctor/patient creative/scientific real/fiction, etc. The story itself was engrossing from its repetitive and embellished writing style. I do wish it were longer but maybe that would have diverted from the point too much. An important read nevertheless.

“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.” 

“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
