The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Author: Nikolle Doolinpodcast@nikolledoolin.com (Nikolle Doolin)
Tue, Mar 29, 2011


The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman was published in the New England Magazine in 1892. The story is told through the protagonist's journal, which she writes secretly over the course of several months, while staying in a rented mansion. As she narrates the story, she reveals that she has been suffering from a nervous condition and has been prescribed rest with strict orders not to work or socialize. Unfortunately, her husband is a physician who doesn't think anything is wrong with her that a little rest and fresh air won't cure. As time passes and the narrator is alienated from the activities and people that enliven her spirit, she sinks deeper and deeper into a depression that preys upon her mind. She becomes obsessed with the hideous yellow wallpaper in her room and succumbs to a delusion, which drives her across the line separating reality from fantasy.

During a reception hosted by Lady Windermere, Lord Arthur Savile has his palm read by the chiromantist Mr. Podgers who sees a most alarming future.

Author: Nikolle Doolinpodcast@nikolledoolin.com (Nikolle Doolin)
Tue, Mar 29, 2011


When a woman dies, the Spirit of Life rewards her with the opportunity to spend all of eternity with her true soul mate (something she did not experience in life). Trouble is, she still feels an allegiance to her awkward husband alive on earth who believed her to be his soul mate. Which man will she choose?

The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe

Author: Nikolle Doolinpodcast@nikolledoolin.com (Nikolle Doolin)
Tue, Mar 29, 2011


The old man is kind, but he has a vulture eye and his heart beats like a watch enveloped in cotton. It is too much for the narrator to bear, whose senses are acute. No, the old man must die. Yet, will death stop the beating heart, or will it never cease?

The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe

Author: Nikolle Doolinpodcast@nikolledoolin.com (Nikolle Doolin)
Tue, Mar 29, 2011


Set in Italy during the carnival season, The Cask of Amontillado delves into the mind of a diabolical man bent on revenge. Montressor narrates the horrifying tale, which alerts the reader to impending doom for the buffoon Fortunato, who has reportedly inflicted a thousand injuries upon Montressor. Yet, the unwitting Fortunato is easily lured to his demise with an appeal to his vanity. He is asked to authenticate the Amontillado, which Montressor has stored in the catacombs of his palazzo. With each step, the tale's suspense grows, until at last, the shocking retribution has been exacted.

The Lady of Shalott by Tennyson

Author: Nikolle Doolinpodcast@nikolledoolin.com (Nikolle Doolin)
Tue, Mar 29, 2011


The Lady of Shalott borrows from the Arthurian legend and is a poem about a woman who is isolated in a tower with a curse hanging over her. She cannot venture outside into the world to be with others. What is worse, she cannot even look directly outside. She sits at her loom weaving daily and looks at shadows of the world cast in a mirror. She envies the freedom of others and grows sick of her limitations. When Sir Lancelot appears, she spies a gallant knight and dares to look outside. The curse is set in motion as she races toward Camelot in a boat. Yet, the Lady of Shalott cannot escape her doom.
