something to think about

This has to do with The Yellow Wallpaper story. we know that she is a writer. Many writers "suffer" from extreme imagination. Maybe that's the case here??????

Charlotte Perkins Gilman tells us a story about a person suffering from mental illness. In The Yellow Wallpaper we are introduced to a woman who is seriously ill. We are told that she is suffering from a temporary nervous depression. I believe that it might be more serious than that. To me it looks like she is also hallucinating. She sees something that other “normal” people do not see. As the story progresses she starts to believe that they see it too. It was sad to see what people suffering from mental illnesses may go through on daily bases. I believe that in the end of the story her husband has realized that she is more ill than they thought.
