My reason why narrator went insane. Revised assignment.

 Would the narrator still have gone insane if she had been confined to another room then nursery? Why or Why not?

     The narrator had been diagnosed with a nervousness depression before she was placed into a nursery room. The nursery just make her feel worse. It is the design of the nursery room the yellow wall paper that was ripped,the floor was scratched, and the furniture were nailed to the floor. Narrator feels that the nursery room is attacking her and the way the room looks makes you more depressed." On a pattern like this, by daylight, there is a lake of sequence, a defiance of law, that is constant irritant to a normal mind. The color is hideous enough, and unreliable enough, and infuriating enough, but the pattern is torturing. You think you have mastered it, but just as get well underway in following, it turns a back- somersault and there you are. It shapes you in the face , knocks you down and trample upon you." (Perkins Gilman,p.653)

     At the beginning of the story, it is not clear is the narrator is insane or not. It was obvious she was ill and that nursery room can trigger her illness toward the insanity. The doctor who also  is her husband had " prescribed"  her medicine and to lay down in the bed,sometimes she was walking in the garden but she was not allowed to write or do any physical activity. This inactivity could have been sufficient to cause a mental breakdown even if she haven't been ill in the first place. When the narrator described how the nursery room and especially the yellow wall paper she said " the color is hideous enough" she didn't like the color of the wall paper, it disgusted her.  The patterns that was on the wall was " torturing" by this description we can tell that the yellow wall paper suppress the narrator as she says"normal mind". Even though the room looks that it is in  okay condition for her husband she didn't feel comfortable in there. One good thing about the nursery room is that it has a lot of sunlight coming through the window. But in the other way the sunlight made nursery look masteries “ On a pattern like this, by daylight, there is a lake of sequence, a defiance of law” this is the way narrator described the room. By reading that quote it makes me think that sunlight that make shadows and patterns  on the yellow wallpaper was one of the things that was torturing her. The the shadows that she saw looked “hideous” and it made more stressed out.

     Most of the time the narrator spends her time in the nursery room alone because her husband is always away. She had nothing to do so she began to study the wallpaper in details pattern by pattern. After a while being in the nursery room and studying the yellow wallpaper narrator though she knows every pattern there but when the "daylight" comes it make everything look different. She describes  light that come through the window as the physical action that made her feel like someone is attacking her. " It slaps you in the face, knocks you down and trample upon you"  in this sentence she describes the yellow wallpaper as angry or oven violent person. But there were nothing she always sees her shadow on the wallpaper. The woman that was ill left in this old and not in a good condition room. The inactivity and there were no person she could really talk to that will listen to her without telling that she ill and everything is okay with her and the house. Some people may say that the yellow wallpaper had nothing to do with the narrator going insane. I think that the nursery room and the yellow wallpaper serves as an obvious catalyst for her mental deterioration, but we do not know if it is merely a symptom of her insanity or the cause.
