The Yellow Wallpaper

As the story began, my first thought was that the house the narrator and her husband were looking through was haunted and the reason was for it being such a nice house and I found it very strange that no one had lived in it in so long. We immediately see that this couple didn’t have a great relationship since the woman becomes very depressed and relies on this one room with the yellow paper. She becomes very fixated and obsessed with this object. She even sees a lady trapped inside it. Do you think that the lady trapped, was actually her? She was basically getting more and more psychotic as the days passed by. Hallucinations was the biggest problem for her, since her imagination drove her more insane and all she wanted to do was stare at the yellow wallpaper. The author was very clever to make us believe that maybe there was something in the wallpaper, an also at the end of the story we find out that John supposedly faints at the end of this story. But many inferences such as her killing her own husband are made. Honestly I feel like she did, the author left it open for our imagination to wonder throughout the story.
