The Yellow Wallpaper

This story was one that i hope i never have to relate to. The poor woman was so out of her mind she didnt know what was going on. I feel like the woman trapped behind the bars could be a reference to her and how she feels her life is. maybe she feels like she is a prisoner, since her husband is always telling her what to do and never allowing her to be a free person. It's quite scary how crazy this wallpaper gets her and how much the disease takes over her entire life.

The Story of an Hour

I found this story quite interesting. Are many of us like that? In marriages or binding relationships but wishing to be out of them? Wishing for freedom from the people that we are with? If so, why are we with them?

A concept that is very difficult to understand, I think. How come we commit ourselves to long marriages or relationships and then long to be done with them?

I'm sure that anyone here that is married can understand her feelings. There are times where we wish we were free instead of bound to our spouses'. Yet, when we were free (when we were single) we were yearning for a relationship/marriage.

Life is funny in that way. We always want what we don't have.

I feel that Mrs. Mallard kind of got what she should have. Now she is free!
