  The symbols of the yellow wallpaper is stretched out throughout the whole story. The symbols can represent many things like her struggle with the domination of the males in her life ,or how she can be able to expresse her opinions in public without begin considerded crazy by the men in her life. The yellow wallpaper is the main symbol in the story because it show how she progress in not only her mental illness but the dominating status too. The narrator moved away from the city to a country mansion with just her husband and a maid, to her it was to get the good country air, but to her husband was to watch his wife with no disturbance with his other patient and to not to make it look like she is a patient of his too. From the second the narrator started to write it showed that her passion was to right everyday in a journal to voice her oppion with out begin judged by her husband. I think he took it away to make the narrator seem crazy because he didn't appreciate the things she wrote.  At the country mansion she began to talk about her room in how the yellow wallpaper was a disgusting color and that the spot of the wall represented a head or some kind of figure. As the story went on it progressed with how her husband treated her and with the yellow wallpapers transformation from a simple figure or head to a lady given a physical proportie later on in the story. The narrator created the lady after her husband call her a little girl, after that she and the lady was determined to get rid of not only the spot in the wall but to increase her dominating status in the so called fight between her and her husband.  See the narrator used most of the objects she either used or saw a symbol something to represent her status amongst her peers with this meaning the dominating male figures in her life.  The wallpaper to me was just a simple out of style look that she used to make as a horror story but then after looking more into detail the true meaning was her begin submissive to her husband and other male figures. Mostly all of the narrators words is her freedom from the oppression of her husband so that she can get her two cents in an conversation without begin ridiculed.
