"Yellow Wallpaper" How Unreliable

Dear Blog,
In the short story "Yellow Wallpaper", the audience experiences a first-person point of view, which, as the narrative progresses, we realize that this point of view is very unreliable.  It is quite interesting and accurately done how we are taken on a journey through this woman's decent into insanity.  We know that she is going crazy because of the things she is telling us that she is thinking about; however, she thinks that her insanity is perfectly sane.  She creates this new world in her mind on this wallpaper and to her, it is perfectly normal, but we can tell from the other characters that she is not well.  Also the details of the room such as the bars on the window and the bed being bolted down lets us know that she is not sane, since she is living there.

Now, since we know that she is going insane, the audience can assume that she is an unreliable narrator and that things she is describing are not necessarily true.  This affects how the audience can read the story and interpret it.  We don't really know if what she is describing is real or not real, making this story an interesting read.

I would also like to say that it is her sensory deprivation that sends her into this craziness and there she hallucinates about things.  I feel like the author is touching on a topic of questioning reality.  It just makes you question an interesting topic.

Now the experience of reading this piece because of the point of view is very difficult to interpret what is really happening and what is really just insanity talking, but it does lead the audience down a road of what going insane is like inside the mind of that person.  I found that part of it quite interesting.
