Oh I am so sorry I've missed most of the discussion. Not only has SI been very hard for me to post on, it's been a crazy day. I've just returned from a two-hour schlep to pick up a daughter and haven't eaten lunch.

I've read what you all have said though, and I agree with the idea of her madness as strength. Her madness was quite symbolic to me of her own desire to escape the stringent rules of behavior (ie. the horrifying and nonsensical patterns in the wallpaper) expected of her as a doting wife, even as a sick person.

She found freedom in her madness as well.
