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.
