It seems that all this beauty with the already introduced element of being haunted and other dark tones, only goes to amplify the reader's attention to the latter. And it goes on to show then we she looks out on the beauty, she only notices a single point of "creeping" blackness. This fact may contribute to her condition as an inability to focus of the light when there is a single point of dark and why she obsesses over the wall. 

The room's qualities - The room is a former with bars on its windows, emphasizing her treatment as a child/ prisoner and thus the eventual break from her identity as a sane adult woman. Wallpaper's tone-diction, scratches, gouges, smooch along wall that adds to conclusion]]> 2021-02-11 19:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194321296 na58869 https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194322400 relatable, empathy for marriage situation/unfairness of John's prescription, narrators expression initially justifiable. 

"John says if I don’t pick up faster he shall send me to Weir Mitchell in the fall", this man was a physician famous for "rest cure" for nervous diseases, particularly hysteria. The treatment emphasized isolation, confinement to bed, dieting, and electrotherapy. Under his care, the author herself – Charlotte Perkins Gilman – suffered a nervous breakdown. The narrator is a reflection of author's experiences combating anxiety, and serves to add to the theme statement.

She has applied characteristics onto furniture in her childhood and now that habit or nature is amplified in the wallpaper, "I never saw so much expression in an inanimate thing before, and we all know how much expression they have!"(69).  This figure she sees is someone she can relate with. And personifying and relating with this figure may have been the first steps into her insanity.]]> 2021-02-11 19:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194322400 na58869 https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194324530 letter-medium:
"And I know John would think it absurd. But I MUST say what I feel and think in some way--it is such a relief! But the effort is getting to be greater than the relief." (108-109). The most effectual contribution to the point of view development would be her own mindedness, the fact that everything she is saying to herself sounds completely justifiable even with the reader. That compassionate understanding is what is preyed upon in this passage, her sane diction makes the insanity more amplified. ]]> 2021-02-11 19:49:50 UTC https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194324530 na58869 https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194325707 manor architecture, disturbing sensory imagery (the smell that follows and biting the bed (form of resentment - knows it is in the way/does not move))]]> 2021-02-11 19:50:04 UTC https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194325707 na58869 https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194327645 preys of relationship paternalism and the health of consciousness ]]> 2021-02-11 19:50:27 UTC https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194327645 na58869 https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194697331 mushroom symbolism for life/energy in death?]]> 2021-02-11 21:28:16 UTC https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194697331 na58869 https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194705422 love isn't transactional]]> 2021-02-11 21:30:57 UTC https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194705422 na58869 https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194711305 anxiety = positive feedback loop ]]> 2021-02-11 21:32:59 UTC https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194711305 na58869 https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194716658 a subjective mind - independant variable]]> 2021-02-11 21:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194716658 na58869 https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194727108 do you appeal to someone's obsession?]]> 2021-02-11 21:38:32 UTC https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194727108 na58869 https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194730048 women need to feel loved, men need to feel needed]]> 2021-02-11 21:39:33 UTC https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194730048 na58869 https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194739185 - thankyou]]> 2021-02-11 21:42:46 UTC https://padlet.com/na58869/jvztmzw32dpqifvm/wish/1194739185
