"The Yellow Wallpaper"

This story was very interesting because it was like actually reading her diary. The fact that we are looking at her diary entries gives us alot more insight in her state of mind and what other are trying to make her seem like. Everyone around her believe that she is suffering from a temporary nervous depression. She feels like if they let her do things like work or some social activities she would be better n get well faster, but her husband and brother who is another physician do not allow her. The only one thing that she does is write in this diary that she keeps and thats because it is a secret because they wouldn't alow her to it if they knew. In her entries she focus on the new place that her husband has brought her to stay for a while because he says it would be good for her to rest and according to him thats all she needs. She describe the house as a very nice one except for the room in which her and John stay in. the room is very nice but the yellow wallpaper bothers her a whole deal, she asked John to remove it but John refuses to because he says that today is the wallpaper but that tomorrow would be somethin else. She talks about how every night she examings this wallpaper and how the pattern on it changes with the different lighting and even talks about someone being trap behind it, its a woman she says and at night she crowls around it because this wallpaper is like a prison that she can't get out of. after a while not only looking at the wallpaper bothers her but now she smells it as well, is a smell that follows her everywhere and is just as anooying as the yellow on the wallpaper. Then one night when John leaves her to sleep alone in the room she starts ripping down this wallpaper she spends basically da whole night doing it, and once the sun comes out she is almost done but she refuses to get out until she is finish she wants to catch that woman that was behind the wallpaper because she was now free. The woman behind the wallpaper was her, the wall paper was kind of simbolize all those things that were stopping or holding her back for example John, this room was her prison and she had just broken out of it. We could also see how John gets in her way again at the end of the story when he faints right on her path, meaning once again he was trying to hold her back.
