"THE YELLOW WALL PAPER" BY:CHARLOTTE PERKINS GILLMAN

This story is very interesting. The woman and her husband move away into this big house so that she can clear her head have get some fresh air. She believes that she is ill but her husband and brother both think that it is all in her head. Their bedroom is upstairs and has this horrible yellow wallpaper that the wife soon becomes obsessed with. She tries to get them to move to a down stairs bed room but her husband wont allow it. She spends countless hours and nights studying this wall paper, she knows every detail about it. She soon starts seeing things in the wallpaper she sees faces and eyes, then she starts to see this woman creeping out from behind the wallpaper as is she is trapped behind it. She beings to rip down the wallpaper. On the last night she locks her husband out of the house and when he gets his way back in the house he goes upstairs to find his wife creeping around the room like a crazy person. As we all can see the woman is actually insane. Moving to that house did not help her one bit it just made things worse her obsessiveness and nervousness had gotten the best of her.

If this woman is insane, how did she finish her story, between insanity and killing herself?
