The reader can infer it is not a children’s room with bars on the window, but a room for locking someone in, such as a padded room for psychotic patients to prevent them from hurting themselves. The narrator doesn’t realize this, but none the less describes it as giving her a bad uneasy feeling, which sets the honest and realistic mood during this time. She continues on to object to staying in the room and when her husband refuses and tells her she’s imagining the dark mood of the room, she stops saying anything to prevent further fighting and this beyond a doubt demonstrates the oppression of women with mental disorders, and how they were treated. She could have blamed her nervousness like so many others, but she instead chose to say what she thought to be absolute fact until she was shut down by her husband. This quote provide little description of the room itself, which demonstrates the small simplistic writing of the realism era and re enforces the innocent perspective of the narrator as well. These are a few of many reasons why “The Yellow Wallpaper” is a perfect example of literature during the realism
