"The Yellow Wallpaper"

       

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.
