No, I think that
it is not a ghost story although there are some scary moments in the story. It
seems that the narrator of this story that is a woman who feels depressions.
Therefore, she has seen ill-defined powers in everywhere at home. For example, as the narrator of “The Yellow
Wallpaper” describes that “there is a recurrent spot where the pattern lolls
like a broken neck, and two bulbous eyes stare at you upside down.” It gives the idea that the wallpaper behaves
as human characterizes because she explains that “two bulbous” looks her with
staring eyes. She imagines that there is invisible power at home that makes her
afraid. Therefore, she tries to find the clue of invisible power on the
spot. Perhaps, the narrator feels that
something strange at home that makes her anxious.
The points of my
view are that the narrator of this story is a young wife who faces problems
like depression. She feels something at home, but her husband does not believe
which she is feeling. The narrator’s husband John states that it happens to her
because of “nervousness”. Maybe, she
feels uncomfortable in a new place; therefore, she feels worried to adjust with
it. Moreover, she tries to find problems everywhere at home. As a result, she
finds some weird reasons on wall-paper, pillow, and spot what makes her afraid.
