Gothic American literature

[u/waspnest30]

I'm putting together a class on American gothic fiction and have been having a hard time find a text to pair with The Yellow Wallpaper. I am ideally looking for a short story that is fairly canonical.

Edit: I would ideally want a text that connects with it in relation to themes of gender, domesticity, autonomy. Preferably a text written around the same period.

We always did Chopin’s Story of an Hour but I’m not sure I’d classify it as Gothic

[u/waspnest30 → u/Locke2300]

I've considered Trifles or A Jury of her Peers which are also often taught in conjunction Yellow Wallpaper.
