1. Is this a ghost story?
In the passage "The Yellow Wallpaper" Charlotte Perkins Stetson brought up the story of her mental illness while she is a wife of a psychiatrist and also his patience. The story carries on some scary moment with some mysteries of the wallpaper which is a consequence of her illness that lead her way of thinking. I think it is not a ghost story but a normal mental disorder that makes her frightening of the normal surrounding . According to her husband and brother who she said that they are "physician of high standing" describe her illness as " temporary nervous depression - a slight hysterical tendency". Therefore the story is more about malfunction in her way of organizing and interpreting facts. However that result in isolation of herself from realty to the imaginary world that lives only in her mind.
