Since it’s separate from town it would have the feeling of being separated from society. Jane describes the house as a place that binds and restricts. When you think of her emotional frame of mind it is also isolated and restricted. The house’s physical setting is the same as Jane’s’ emotional state. Inside of the house, Jane is confined, by her husband, to a "big, airy room, the whole floor nearly, with windows that look all ways, and air and sunshine galore."
She does not want the stuff; the plates, the playing cards, the bed linen – she wants their collective impression of home. She wants the intangible yet vivid impression that life has played out here, amongst these things and so defines the space. It is as though there is an invisible web of memory around her; one composed of love, life, happiness and trial, joining each of the things she packs and every corner of the space. It is like a spider’s web set between trees, broken strand at a time by the unstoppable wind of
Cossington-Smith has balanced the work through the placement of the central focal point. Upon first observation, the focal point of the artwork is the wardrobe mirror. This focal point moves the attention of the observer from the interior of the room to the exterior surroundings. The mirror is the door of a wardrobe filled with blankets and clothing, spilling from the shelves. The background of the room contains a bookshelf, a chair covered with a throw rug and a woven rug lining the floor.
Mama Esther I want you to help me. Papa Boy Charles I want you to help me. Mama Ola I want you to help me”. The ghost then escapes out of the house and Berniece is no longer is afraid of the piano and its spirits and begins to embrace them; she even teaches Maretha how to play the piano.

Towards the end of the story, the narrator begins to obsess over the yellow wallpaper that covers the walls of the nursery. She eventually begins to see what she describes as a female figure trapped behind the bar-like pattern and comes to believe that she and the figure are suffering from the oppression of being imprisoned. As her preoccupation of the wallpaper pattern progresses, she no longer has the desire to become who her family wishes her to be and instead thinks only of how she can go about releasing the woman from the wallpaper. She grows more obsessive and insane with the passing of each day. In the end of the story, the narrator has lost all sense of reality, and John discovers her crawling around on the floor of the nursery, following the pattern of the wallpaper.
The Untold Truths of “The Yellow Wallpaper” “The Yellow Wallpaper”, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a short story written in first-person narration. She does not refer to herself by name, however she talks about the issues that she is going through while living in a bedroom with ugly, yellow wallpaper. The narrator is in an attic room that she does not want to be in, but her husband thinks it is good for her so she can rest. She recently had a baby but it is being taken care of by a nanny while she is up in the room. The narrator has nothing to do in the room but write secretly in her journal and stare at the wallpaper, which ultimately causes her to go insane.
She somehow sneaks a rope into her room, without John knowing. The thing is that she really didn’t have a place to do it. The bed is nailed to the floor and the windows are barred. So the fact that she is very dangerous to herself and who knows is she is a danger to anybody else. Another thing is it’s not like the baby isn’t being cared for, John sister is taking care of the baby.
She is unreliable because she is deranged. She “creeps smoothly on the floor,” this is one of the few points that explains how deranged Jane is. The story is set in a time when women are more submissive. John, the narrator’s husband, is a doctor who claims that Jane is ill. Jane was told to stay in her room which is unique as the “windows are barred.” The barring on the window symbolizes herself being holed up inside and in the real world against her will. The bed is also nailed down in her room.
Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll House ends on either a very negative note, or a very positive note depending upon how one views such situations. At the end of the story, Nora Helmer leaves her oppressive, belittling husband, and children - who are hardly her children - behind to rediscover and educate herself. Ibsen states, “The wife in the play ends by having no idea of what is right or wrong; natural feeling on one hand and belief in authority on the other have altogether bewildered her.” (Ibsen. 409) Nora’s situation was a very unique one with many tunnels and slides to be trekked. Her exit was a fully rational, completely acceptable action.
