Bulbous â (Adjective): big and round often in an unattractive way( Merriam Webster)
The word âbulbousâ is found on page 4. âThere is a recurrent spot where the pattern lolls like a broken neck and two bulbous eyes stare at you upside downâ. My understanding of the word and the phrase is that the narratorâs feeling of a pair of big and round eyes which are also unattractive are staring at her upside down from the pattern of the yellow wallpaper.
