It is the ironic language Gilman uses to illustrate the dire consequences of misunderstood mental illness and the misused ‘rest cure’ that was popular at the time. The effect intensifies the story as we can appreciate the narrator’s experience from her disillusioned perspective.

That may sound too obvious piece of advice, but this is one of the most common mistakes we commit when writing fiction. In order to give due credit to the two most important characters of your story - the protagonist (the good guy - in most of the cases) and the antagonist (the bad guy/group/institution), you need to be well-versed with the ideology that they represent and how they differ from each other.
