Bulbous

Bulbous – (Adjective): big and round often in an unattractive way( Merriam Webster)
The word “bulbous” is found on page 4. “There is a recurrent spot where the pattern lolls like a broken neck and two bulbous eyes stare at you upside down”. My understanding of the word and the phrase is that the narrator’s 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.
