If the Gatsby characters were alive today, I’m pretty sure the Buchanans would own a superyacht, where the rich go to escape — the paparazzi, their neighbors, and accountability.
This is so interesting. I love The Yellow Wallpaper, but never thought about it in a modern context. It absolutely sounds like conservatorship, and other types of female societal gaslighting. You could even make an argument that being siloed into social media influencer content about being a "perfect" woman and/or mother is a form of living with yellow wallpaper. This concept will stick in my mind for awhile, I can tell!
Another great read, thank you

I’m so glad it brought up some for thought for you!
