"At night in any kind of light, in twilight, candlelight, lamplight, and worst of all by moonlight, it becomes bars! The outside pattern I mean, and the woman behind it is as plain as can be."
The symbolisim within this story is amazing to me. I was really struck by the fact that she is obviously compairing herself to the woman behind the "bars" of the wallpaper. That she is feeling trapped by whatever illness that is plaguing her.
