Wow- you are good. I bet you made A's in English.

With THAT interpretation, the baby's crying in the drama makes more sense--it could be her creative needs begging for attention, for nurturance, more than the emphasis on the mother/child thing. Really in the book, there wasn't that much emotion surrounding the baby. But then-- did mothers do as much childcare then as now? I don;t know- maybe having another caregiver was more accepted?

Oh! I hadn't thought of the baby as a metaphor for creativity. I like that. Being denied access to her baby, though, she has found creativity in that darned wallpaper. In herself. Perhaps this is the first time she has been creative and not dissociated herself (ie. given birth to a separate thing).
