The Yellow Wallpaper~

For some reason I felt a lot of sympathy for the sickly woman. As much love as her husband intended to show, it seemed like he was suppressing any freedom at all. Although his intentions were good, I think it would have been best to let her air out and give her the space she needed. As I was reading, the way in which she described the room (with the yellow wall paper) it gave me a lot of imagery of something similar to a haunted house, and I think I remember her character even mentioning that. It played out really well in my head because I made the connection to the film"Mama" and "The Messengers" because in both films the throughout some scenes not only kids were involved but as well as the black grime forming in the wall making it dirty and stained. I don't know if that's even relevant but..yeah. I am also going to assume that this was a time where women were best not speak or show much intelligence, at least not so much that males would be threatened, because the father and brother agreed her sickness  was caused by her writing. It seems in this time period if a women were to self express herself or show interest in any form of literature, she'd be reprimanded or pushed to believe something nonsensical such as this "cause of sickness". But, its encouraging to see that even behind the factual reason for her "poor health", she anonymously kept pushing her self to enjoy her writing and form of self expression. Bravo to that!
