Yellow Wallpaper

I was going back through some old material to get ready for the final last night and ended up reading the yellow wallpaper again. That was easily the weirdest story we read all year. At the same time it was funny how her husband was being so controlling and portective and thought he knew what was best for her when actually the conditions he forced her into were making her more crazy. At the end he finally faints when he sees how messed up she has gotten. The point of the story was that she wouldn't have gone completely crazy if her husband hadn't been so overbearing. However I don't see a situation like this ever playing out nowadays because women these days have too much attitude.
