I still dont know why this story was signifigant. I think there was supposed to be some womens rights symoblism? That they were looked down upon?
Obviously she was the lady in the wallpaper, but it still wasnt very entertaining. I liked that they kind of kept her locked down, but I think thats what made her crazy.
I dont know exactly what the wallpaper was supposed to represent? I mean I know it kind of turned into a mirror sort of illusion but why yellow?
The husband seemed kind of insensitive, but he was just following the doctors orders for not letting her write. He could have helped prevent the craziness by letting her out of the room once in a while. Anybody cooped up like that would start to see things, let alone somone who is already sick.
All in all this story wasnt great for me. Ive read a lot of good short stories for classes like this, but "The Yellow Wallpaper" just wasnt one of them.
