Blog #2- The Yellow Wallpaper

The yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a very interesting story. Its about a sick woman although her husband shes has nothing to worry about and her brother who are both doctors. But in her mind she is unwell and doesn't really tell them so i don't think they fully understood her medical situation. I thought it was strange that she was always tired all the time. i thought she started to hallucinate because of her sickness but she actually saw patterns and wanted to figure them out on her whole. she believed her husband john and jennie were also tired to solve the mystery but it was all in her head. She writes a journal of events that happened when shes not weak and keeps it a secret. she desrcibes the wallpaper in her room in great detail. The wallpaper is yellowish in color, old and pealing it also has a smell. she sees a woman who is creeping. the woman ends up being her. the end of the story she rips the paper off and the woman is free from behind. which is saying that she is really free but not really because her husband faints and is laying in her path. Because of her weakness she was very limited to her activities and was restricted. Therefore all the metaphors of the traps and confinements were about herself.
