The Yellow Wallpaper

When i was first reading this, the title made me envision that this may possible be something boring and mundane. Nothing about the title really stands out. But when you start to get halfway through it u start to realize that this may be some sort of psychological piece of reading. And then it actually turns out to be just that and u can't help but wonder where the narrator will go with this next.
The ending of this story for some reason made think a little bit about the movie, The Exorcist. Though the narrator did nothing as extreme as the woman in that movie part of me kept hoping she might. All in all it was a surprisingly good story whose ending, for lack of a better term, surprised me.

By the way I don't quite understand the husband's reason for fainting and why she stepped over him. Please enlighten me someone.

  1. I agree with you the title of the story did make me think it was going to boring. The story has a real psychological meaning to it that you have to dig through it to understand it.
