The Yellow Wallpaper


I thought that the husband, John should not have trapped his wife in a room claiming that it would help her condition. Her husband would not let her have the room she wanted instead she was forced in a room that had barred windows and patchy yellow wall paper. He would make fun of her about her wanting to change the wall paper. It only made her go crazy. He controlled her telling her she was not allowed to write or do anything. She was forced to be isolated and the only thing she could see was this yellow wall paper. She eventually started to see a woman behind bars in the wall paper. I think she was actually seeing herself because she felt trapped. She said something about tying the woman if she escaped which I think symbolizes her always being bond by something like her marriage. She is never free she will always be trapped. Towards the end when her husband finally gets into the room it says he fainted at the sight of her. I think that she hung herself and now hangs over him all the time. I think she just lost it and went insane and killed herself to be free from her trapped life.
