The Yellow Wallpaper

This story really freaked me out. I did not like the husband and I think it is possible that he put her in there for other reasons other than her being "sick". It is possible he has other lovers or he put her in there because she was a woman that liked to write.

I do not think she was previously sick before she went into the room, rather that the room drove her crazy. The longer she stayed in the room the worse she got. I also think this is why she started seeing people in the wall. And that is why she mentions that lady named Jane. I could also see an argument saying Jane is herself.

At the end of the story she talks about ripping off the wallpaper, her husband passing out and a rope. Well I think she ripped off the paper because she was going crazy and was starting to see herself in the wallpaper. Also the husband fainted because of shock, I do not believe she killed him because in the story she talked about how much she loved him. I do not view the rope of having any significance other than her escape. I think the rope was purely symbolic and was not used to kill her or her husband.
