The Yellow Wallpaper

Before reading this story, I never knew one could analyze wallpaper so much. Wow! I think this woman was mentally ill and being stuck in a room for so long just casused her case to worsen. She had nothing to do with her time and so she absorbed and investigated her surroundings, specifically the yellow wallpaper. However, her investigation was taken to an extreme, she began to see things that are not even physically possible. I think this just supports the case that she had to have been mentally ill. I don't really what the representation is of the woman that she was seeing in the wallpaper and through her windows, but I do think that something was haunting her. Maybe, it was her illness and the lifestyle she was foreced to live because of it.
