The yellow wallpaper quote.

 “Unpacking A Quote “
 “So of course I said no more that score, and we went to sleep before long, He thought I was asleep first, but I wasn’t, and lay there for hours trying to decide whether that front pattern and the back pattern really did move together or separately “(653)

In Charlotte Perkins Stetson story “The Yellow Wallpaper”, the narrator of the passage has an overly obsession with this certain yellow wallpaper in this ancestral grandeur house she and her husband have taken for the summer. In this part of the passage it shows how the narrator is up for hours at night thinking about this wallpaper, I honestly feel like she thinks the wallpaper is like a living thing, in the quotation, she saids “trying to decide whether that front pattern and back pattern really did move together or separately “, she imagines the wallpaper’s pattern to be actually moving.

In the passage the husband john who is a physician, is trying to help his lady is getting better but as it says  “He thought I was asleep first, but I wasn’t”, shows how the husband think his sick wife is asleep when in reality she is losing sleep just thinking about the yellow wallpaper in this their summer house and what seems to me is that she is becoming a little physco towards this wallpaper.

The narrator of the story says “ and lay there for hours trying to decide whether that front pattern and the back pattern really did move together or separately” , she’s imagining the wallpaper moving as a living thing like if the wallpaper is real and is moving with different patterns . This is just another action of the narrator proving that the narrator of the story has some sort of mental illness or just plain crazy within her self. I believe the narrator is hallucinating.
