Questions: The Yellow Wallpaper' uses a first-person narrator who also happens to be experiencing a mental health crisis. On the one hand, this presents us with an unreliable narrator. But, on the other hand, the narrator seems to see things more clearly the worse she gets. Ironically, the narrator is more deceived about her situation in the beginning of the story when her mental illness is somewhat minor; yet, she sees the truth of her captivity and the situation for all women writers at the time with clarity by the end of the story when she is experiencing a complete breakdown.

With this in mind, how might one interpret the end of the story, with the narrator literally walking over her husband who has fainted and collapsed onto the floor?
This story was not written from a Christian perspective. Still, like so much of literature, it explores certain human needs and desires, given to us by our Creator. What needs and desires, given to us by God, does this story seem to lean into?
