The short story The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman was really interesting, showing how would were viewed in the 18th century. Its really sad how the narrator doesn’t have freedom to do anything she please because John (Her husband) believes she has a nervous condition. John is a physician, i think that’s why the narrator listened to John; he does have the authority. But she feels that activity, freedom, and interesting work would help her condition. Whats interesting is the yellow wall paper is how the narrator describes the patterns and color. Its terrible that john doesn’t listen to his own wife. It seems like she have this “nervous condition” all of a sudden. The yellow wall paper was a reflection of her life. She was trying to escape from the room that John lock her in. She needed to be free. I notice that all the stories we read for class, consist of females not being treated right, or not mention much. I believe Charlotte Perkins Gilman emphasizes that woman back in the day were mistreated or didn’t have their freedom. That they’re woman who felt depress, and nervous, having husbands who tell their wives they have a physiological problem. When in fact, the narrator felt that she didn’t have a problem. Also, there were two scene that scared, one was the woman was the woman “stooping down and creeping” behind the pattern, which looks like the bars of a cage, and when she became that woman and was “stooping down and creeping” upon John. She really became insane.

I agree with this as throughout the story we see the narrator become more, and more fixated on the wall paper as she belives that there is a women inside of it, and she precives the women as herself trapped behind bars both mentally, and physically, and the only way to escape is by breaking free.
