Answer 1

"The Yellow Wallpaper" but it is NOT written by Kate Chopin it's by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
And the main character is beginning to see things in the patterns because she is already depressed and is sinking into insanity because of the infamous "rest treatment" forced on women to treat their "hysterics" The figure in the wall paper is, of course, symbolic of her and her imprisonment in a society that treats her like an overly emotional child.

Answer 2

"The Yellow Wallpaper" is a short story by author Charlotte Perkins Gilman. It was first published in 1892 in The New England Magazine.

The woman trapped in the paper represents two things.

It represents her entrapment her mental state, and ripping the paper of the wall was a way of freeing her self, and thereby freeing the woman trapped inside the wallpaper. Since this book was also sort of an autobiography, it also represented her place in her marriage to John since she ended up leaving him in her real life shortly after that. Her actually marriage was not that bad, she was just not happily married, because she felt she had to play the role of being a wife which meant giving up her dreams of "serving humanity"
