Original
Presented in the first person, the story is a collection of journal entries written by a woman whose physician husband (John) has rented a old mansion for the summer. Foregoing other rooms in the house, the couple moves into the upstairs nursery. As a form of treatment she is forbidden from working, and is encouraged to eat well and get plenty of exercise and air, so she can recuperate from what he calls a "temporary nervous depression – a slight hysterical tendency," a diagnosis common to women in that period.[2] She hides her journal from her husband and his sister the house keeper, out of fear of being reproached for overworking herself. Being a nursery the windows of the room are barred to prevent children from climbing through them, and there is a gate across the top of the stairs, though she and her husband have access to the rest of the house and its adjoining estate.
