Respuesta :

The line from "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman that best demonstrates the unreliability of the narrator is E. He is very careful and loving, and hardly lets me stir without special direction.

The narrator suffers from post partum depression, which of course means she is mentally disturbed. Furthermore, her husband, John, as in the line provided, dictates every aspect of her life, from where she will sleep to when to take her medicines. The fact that her husband completely controls her life added to her mental instability (which only grows as the story progresses), makes her a very unreliable narrator.
