And this is how being confined to her room, she ends up falling for the horrid yellow wallpaper which becomes a subservient object of her undivided attention.

The connection she feels towards the wallpaper becomes intense as she tries to figure out the enigmatic patterns in it. This becomes her obsession as she finds “something more to expect, to look forward to” (Gilman 6) daily. In fact, even the scent of the wallpaper occupies her every waking thought. She gets obsessed with making discoveries in the wallpaper. However, as the need to share this becomes so potent that rather than sharing it with her husband, who patronises her, she writes it all down. By noting her sentiments and breakthroughs, she finds a reprieve in the “dead paper and a great relief to my mind” (Gilman1). Keeping a secret dairy becomes her companion and her approach to self-expression.

As she personally feels oppressed by her family and friends, she comes to resent the conventions of the society which determines women as fragile and weak. This is precisely what the discovery of the woman trapped in the wallpaper depicts: a reflection of the narrator’s own intellectual confinement. Hence, it becomes her ambition to rescue the woman in the wallpaper. By helping her, she intends to liberate herself from the impositions placed upon her by the society and her husband. She eventually finds salvation in liberating the woman of the wallpaper and in the process, succumbs to insanity.
