hat on her shoulders and the fact that her husband wants her to perfect when she is obviously not, pushed her over the edge. In the 1800s, they believed that by secluding the ill and telling them to lead an ordinary life that there problems would go away. However, this is not the case, this only makes them madder, because now they feel that they have no creative outlet. In conclusion mental problems need to looked at talked out of the mind, not shut up inside and ignored. I think that this story illustrates this very well and that the author did a magnificent job in portraying this side of mental health. I think this story put a joyful twist to what people think is dark and frightening subject....
