It shows how women were taken during the 1900s. The story also highlights the extremes of repression and sexism by presenting the woman like crazy because of a rest cure. From the perspective of the narrator's role as a woman, the lack of intellectual stimulation in her thinking and her unjust environment generally drove her crazy. This speaks to the failure of society in which sexism and oppression have been exercised against women. One aspect of feminism described by the narrator in the story is the way she tries to reject John's views. She repeatedly asks him to move her to another room downstairs. This is an aspect of feminism that should be encouraged in women to claim their freedom. The Narrator participates in not conquering with John. But as time goes by, she feels less and less of the usual relief. John rejects the request and tells her that she must go to the baby's room which is barred and sounds like those of a dungeon on the walls. He is denied the right to choose what he pleases. Later, she comes to love the child's bedroom where, other times, she locks herself away to prevent her husband from being disturbed by the story. Furthermore, the act of the Narrator's wallpaper routine is a feeling of imprisonment. She recognizes that the pattern is so ugly as a cage imprisoning women who are desperately trying to escape. The Narrator figuratively tears away the bars and wallpaper of the cage to make his way to escape..
