Set in the nineteenth century, the narrative unfolds through a woman's journal entries, revealing her confinement by her physician husband in a rented summer home. As she grapples with what he diagnoses as a "temporary nervous depression," her isolation intensifies, leading to a descent into madness. The story critiques societal attitudes toward women's health and autonomy, while blending elements of Gothic fiction and horror. It serves as a powerful commentary on the struggles against oppressive norms and the quest for self-expression.
