2. a husband who always calls his wife as a child (my little girl, blessed little goose, may darling)
indicates that the husband really wants his wife to obey everything he says, and makes her feel like
a child who knows nothing. and the husband is a man who knows everything, including the
narrator's mental state. for husbands, maybe this can make the wife feel more loved, and feel that it
is the husband who has the right to determine how the wife's life is while in the room.

3. the first, the narrator is disturbed by the presence of yellow wallpaper, which she thinks is worn,
torn, and disturbing her view

then the narrator as time goes by, she feels like the wallpaper, she feels that there is a woman who
lives behind the wallpaper, and she wants to know who is behind the wallpaper?

finally, due to his obsession with the woman in the yellow wallpaper, it is the narrator who ends up
being the woman, she goes crazy and behaves like the woman in the wallpaper that has been in her
imagination.
4. the narrator who has mental illness after giving birth tells that she is sick and has to be treated
under her husband's orders, ironically the husband is not the medicine for his wife, but he is the one
who makes her even crazier. because the husband's orders and restraints make the narrator enter into
his imagination, such as the narrator cannot leave the room, cannot move rooms, windows are
fenced with iron, beds are nailed, take medicine every hour, cannot do a hobby, namely writing , it
makes the narrator very lonely and finally finds something she likes and makes her curious from
her own imagination. and finally, it's because of her own imagination and her husband's restraint
that drives the narrator crazy. they stayed at the mansion in the summer for 3 months, the husband
hoped his wife would get well in his way, but he was the one who caused her to go crazy.
