The Yellow Wallpaper

I didn't really know what to think of this story when I finished reading it. I was kind of understanding it until I got to the end and then she was going all indepth about the wallpaper and then the ending with her husband just really confused me. I thought it was a very well written story, I've never read anything that gets so into it the way that she got into this.
Throughout the story I had this feeling that John was trying to just control his wife somehow. Like making her think her "illness" is worse than it is. Yes he does tell her that she is not sick but if he feels this way then why is he talking about her "condition"? He contradicts himself like one time he is saying nothing is wrong with his wife and the next he is saying that doing something is not going to be good for her condition.
It was very interesting to talk about this story in class. There were so many different points of view. There was the way I saw the story and then the way that so many others. In some cases I never thought about it that way, and when we talked about it I did start thinking about the story in different ways. Overall I'd have to say that I enjoyed The Yellow Wallpaper.
