The narrator also goes on to say,” “The strange dim halo of her yellow hair was still uncombed and sideways on her head” (Boyle 63).

Her character begins to change when she hears of her father’s treatment of Eva Smith - the working-class girl who commits suicide with detergent - in “An Inspector Calls.” Like all of the Birlings, Sheila was partly responsible for the death of Eva; Sheila was jealous of this pretty girl who worked innocently in a store and Sheila reported Eva for slight, meaning once again this young Miss Smith was fired, sending her into a spiral of depression.

At this point she starts seeing various things in the wallpaper, but she still dislikes it, however later on we can see how her madness progresses and becomes a serious issue. She starts talking about how the wallpaper smells. “It creeps all over the house… it gets into my hair…”(p.11) I find it hard to believe that a wallpaper can smell like this, and I would rather say that this smell is a smell created by her mind rather than reality. And when she says that it even got into her hair, the reason for that would be how she saw some funny marks on the wall, low down. “A streak that runs round the room…as if it had been rubbed over and over.”(p.11).
She explains in her song that Miss America used to be amazing, beautiful, and admired, but now is just a regular old house wife that doesn’t get any respect from her husband. “Cause it’s not forever after And you’ve finally lost your hope And you’re feeling like an actress In your own depressing soap And you think you’re going crazy And you’re scared of getting free And you’d like to take your trophy And smash the damn TV” (Cryer 22).
