For starters this short story creeps me out a lot. however i did find this short story very interesting especially when the narrator says "john is away all day, and even some nights when his cases are serious. I am glad that my case is not serious!" (669). Also through out the story i sensed that she had a feeling that she new she was crazy and even hints to it in a section of the short story about how she is physically fine but not mentally. i feel like she is also sarcastic most of the time. i wonder why she becomes so obsessed with the "figure" in the wall paper?
As the months pass by i saw how her condition worsened and it really bothered me how her husband ignored his wife's extremely bazaar behavior. However in the ending she mentions her husband fainting and then say 's " Now why should that man have fainted? but he did, and right across my path by the wall, so that i had to creep over him every time!" (678). My guess is that when he walked in on his wife he and saw that she really was insane ... i think that he actually had a heart attack because she said that he was in between her and the wall so she walked over him i am guessing until she finished pulling the rest of the "figure" off of the wall. And i assume that if he did faint then wouldn't he have eventually woken up? I not sure i'm just guessing maybe i am looking to much into it.
