What is the narrator’s name in The Yellow Wallpaper?

Explanation:

The narrator of The Yellow Wallpaper is never explicitly named, but is often assumed to be a fictionalized version of Charlotte Perkins Gilman herself. The name “Jane” may or may not refer to her, this is not clear. The story is written in the first person and follows the narrator’s descent into madness as she is confined to a room with yellow wallpaper. The story is a commentary on the treatment of women in the late 19th century, particularly the practice of “resting cure” for mental illness, and the societal pressures that can lead to women’s repression and subjugation.
