From a conventional perspective, it first seems strange, flamboyant, confusing, outrageous: the very act of women's writing produces discourse which embodies "unheard of contradictions." Once freed, it expresses what is elsewhere kept hidden and embodies patterns that the patriarchal order ignores, suppresses, fears as grotesque, or fails to perceive at all. Like all good metaphors, the yellow wallpaper is variously interpreted by readers to represent (among other things) the "pattern" which underlies sexual inequality, the external manifestation of neurasthenia, the narrator's unconscious, the narrator's situation within patriarchy. But an emphasis on discourse-writing, the act of speaking, language-draws us to the central issue in this particular story: the narrator's alienation from work, writing, and intellectual life. Thus the story is inevitably concerned with the complicated and charged relationship between women and language: analysis then illuminates particular points of conflict between patriarchal language and women's discourse" (Treichler 62).

Anne’s husband, John, whom some critics see as a representative of a repressive, patriarchal society, is widely regarded as the antagonist in “The Yellow Wallpaper.” At the very least, his well-meaning but misguided efforts to enforce Dr. Mitchell’s gospel of rest are directly related to Anne’s descent into madness. When he consigns Anne to the upstairs room, the former nursery, his act introduces the dominant symbolism of the story. Anne’s room powerfully dramatizes her status in her society: she is legally a child, under the care and control of an adult. The windows of the nursery are barred, making it not only a childhood retreat but also a prison. The bedstead is nailed to the floor, underscoring Anne’s static position in the room. And she is forbidden to care for her own child" (Scribbling Women 1).
