Breakthrough Tear Down The Wallpaper

“I don’t like to look out of the windows even-there are so many of those creeping women, and they creep so fast. I wonder if they all come out of the wall-paper as I did? But I am securely fastened now by my well-hidden rope -you don't get me out in the road there! I suppose I shall have to get back behind the pattern when it comes night, and that is hard! It is so pleasant to be out in this great room and creep around as I please!”(656)

In the passage from “The Yellow Wall-Paper by Charlotte Perkins Stetson, the readers are given an opportunity to understand the main character, the narrator feelings and bi polar behavior.  At this moment, the narrator is reflecting her thoughts while she looks out the window. She sees women’s that are not sheltered and freely without a chaperone. She wonders if they were trapped in the wall paper like here. The narrator questioning herself about metaphor “rope” that she feel trap by. She has no say in her life or care plan to get better. This is an important turning point in the story: The point at which the relationship between the narrator and her husband changes forever. Her reactional behavior reaches it peek.

The “creeping women” in the passage is a delusional though of the narrator that connects to The Yellow Wall-Paper pattern. She thinks it’s a woman trapped by layers in this patterning. She nearly spend all her time figuring out, how to help release her. Once the connection is made, she felt obligated to help the trapped woman get out. She is given the opportunity to do so when her husband John, spend the night out. The two women’s has formed a team “I pulled and she shook, I shook and she pulled”. They are more determined than ever for the trapped woman to get out of this horrible wall paper.   

The last day at the rental house the narrator torn off most of “The Yellow Wall-Paper” enough to free the trap woman. The two women’s became one soul. The narrator realized she was the trapped woman behind the patterning. She never had a say so in her life or care plan to get better. The narrator regains her identity and stand up to her husband (when he returns to the house the next morning). For once she didn’t listen to him when he spoke an order to her. She wouldn’t open bedroom door and made him follow her directions to get in.

John was beyond shock once he opened the door.
The narrator shouted “I have got out at last” despite of his effort to keep her trapped. She told him everything that she pulled most of the wall paper off and he would not put her back in it. Things will not go back to how they were before.  How John controlled her life, always having Jennie chaperone her when he gone and scheduled all of medications for her without her say so. This was way too much for John to disgust and he passed out on the floor.
