The yellow wall-paper. Assignment 3

This story totally confused me. First of all, this story is about a woman,  who is sick, and her husband, John, who was taking care of her.They also live in a little home only for some days. In the beginning i thought they are a great couple, as her husband takes care of her and really cares about her health. During the story, i understood that her husband controls her life and prohibids her to do things that she wants to do.A specific moment in the story that i would like to mention is when the narrator says " I tried to have a real earnest reasonable talk with him the other day, and tell him how i wish he would let me go and make a visit to cousin Henry and Julia". By this, i understand how much her husband controls her and that her husband decides for her. Despite this fact, I personally believe that John should let her go to visit her cousin, as this might be an "escape" from her everyday stress and routine and this would make the narrator happy.
