My favorite story so far was "The Yellow Wallpaper" because it messed with my head. It makes me think of how easy it is to fool everyone into believing that you are fine but yet you are worst then ever before. I think its weird how when she sees the wall paper she really sees herself trapped inside. Its like she needed to find a way to be free because she felt trapped between her sickness and her husband telling her what she can do and what she can't. She just wanted to be free from the oppressor. It is like the pattern in the wallpaper that made up the prison bars was her husband and her sickness while the lady trapped inside was her hopelessly trying to escape but she couldn't. Then when she tore the wallpaper its like she liberated herself from her husband and sickness. She wont get trapped again because the wallpaper is gone and so are her chains even if it seems that she is more trapped then before inside her head still she feels free. That's all she wanted to be free.
I get Your point of view on the story and I feel the same, But in a way everyone is like that. There is always something that everyone wanted to do at one point time or when they felt oppressed by "the man"
