Society or the wallpaper: Social/connections

           Many people discuss the discrepancy between if the wallpaper in The Yellow Wallpaper (1899) is about Jane going insane. The wallpaper is connected to society in a way and the hose that they are living in could connect to being a sanitarium. A sanitarium is a place where mentally insane people go. The social connection could be that women's rights are out of everyone's control. The women inside of the yellow wallpaper is a connection to all the women at this time being imprisoned. Having to stay in or nearby their homes was okay for them but Jane was in that room for too long looking at the same yellow wallpaper getting aggravated that she had to be in there but she couldn't say that so she got made at the wallpaper. Sooner or later she began to be obsessed with this wallpaper, she says "That is why I watch it always."(7) making it clear she doesn't want to take her eyes off of it until she figures it out, obsessed. She feels imprisoned and society is doing nothing about this because they are all behind these bars too being help captive with nothing for the women to do but house work, and Jane cannot even do that because her husband says "Can you not trust me as a physician when I tell you so?"(7) making his point that he is a doctor and she should believe him.
