Aaron Milton-YeLLow Wallpaper

In the short story The Yellow Wallpaper, Gilman tries to show the inner struggle and persistence of the deprived. Gilman focuses on showing the narrator's change and getting worse as she felt trapped with this statement: "I think that woman gets out in the daytime! And I'll tell you why--privately--I've seen her! I can see her out of every one of my windows! It is the same woman, I know, for she is always creeping, and most women do not creep by daylight." This quote in the story is very significant. It show the reader the extent of the narrators illness now that she has been confined in such a room for long. The narrator is in a constant fight between her anxiety along with her inner fight to break free.
