Ultimately, another way to prove that John was responsible of what happen to the narrator was when he didn 't let her do anything not even write her journals. He would have her in a room with a yellow wallpaper doing nothing. Like she had nothing to do she decided to figure out the pattern that there was in the yellow wallpaper. As she was trying to figure it out she saw many things that were coming from the yellow wallpaper and those things were what made her become crazy. John makes decisions for the narrator and puts her in a room “No wonder the children hated it! I should hate it myself if I had to live in this room long. There comes John, and I must put this away—he hates to have me write a word. We have been here two weeks, and I haven’t felt like writing before, since that first day”(pg.2 line 72-74). In the story the narrator never really has control of her decisions. Throughout the story the narrator starts to see things in the yellow wallpaper and John doesn 't do anything. For example instead of separating her from seeing the yellow wallpaper so she won 't be affected he just let her and saw how she was becoming crazy. The narrator is seeing things like “There is one marked peculiarity about this paper, a thing nobody seems to notice but myself, and that is that it changes as the light changes”(pg.8 line 277-278).

"The Yellow Wall-Paper" is a short story from the perspective of a woman who has just had her baby and has now moved into a mansion styled home with her husband. Following the birthing, the narrator must get rest and stay away from things that will stimulate her too much according to her husband, John, a Physician. John tries to keep his wife secluded from the other people working at the home and some of the beauties and gardens outside. The room that the two make into theirs is on the third floor of the home in a room that was once used as a nursery. This room has a faded, yellow wallpaper that the narrator becomes unsatisfied with over time along with the other imperfections that the room has due to it being decrepit such as windows that have boarded up.
The short story, The Yellow Wallpaper was written by a lady named Charlotte Perkins Gilman. “Charlotte was a young lady born in the 1860s right into poverty. Her upbringing was in poverty and didnt have it very easy at a young age. She was born in England and at the age of 22 she married a man by the name Charles Walter Stetson. They eventually had a child and almost immediately right after the birth of the child Charlotte fell into a deep depression.

The trapped woman represents the speaker, whose husband locks her away from the rest of the world. Her husband also resorts to belittling her and treats her like a child in order to get her to obey him.
“It was nursery first and then playroom and gymnasium, I should judge; for the windows are barred for little children, and there are rings and things in the walls” (2). The narrator gives us some imagery to describe the room she is placed in. There are bars on the windows, which make us more aware that she is in an institution. Since it was a nursery before she arrived, the reader can hint that John treats her more like a child than an adult. Instead of curing his wife, he does not let her go outside and speak with people, which is something that probably would have helped her improve from her
