Can't say I disagree with him -- so I guess this yellow wallpaper crazy lady didn't have it so good, for all her money.

Sure, that lady went crazy, even though she was rich and livin' a high life. But heck, I might have gone crazy myself staring at the same wallpaper all day, with nothin' to do and I don't have half a mind to get crazy, people would say -- I think I might have gone crazy just on my own steam of thinkin' about what I could be doin'.

I can't just get my head around this whole other woman thing. First I thought she was like another person, then I realized that she was just a pretend woman in the imagination, behind the wallpaper -- and then, I kinda realized that the woman behind the paper was like Jim.

Let me explain, I'm not sayin' that Jim was imaginary. Just sayin' that havin' Jim as company made everything easier when things was hard to bear. And that lady behind the wallpaper I guess made it easier for the real woman to be such a lonesome body all day long, settin' and doin' nothing except feel miserable and sorry for herself -- just as I mighta felt bein' on the river if I hadn't had Jim.

And she wanted to set that lady free, even though she kinda felt it was wrong. Just like I wanted to set Jim free, even though I felt it was wrong at the time. Don't now, though -- Jim has a right to be free just as much as me.

But the powerful sorrowful thing about all this is that the lady behind the paper wasn't real, and wasn't a real body needing to be free, like Jim -- or me in the widow's house.

The woman that needed freein' was the lady peeling the wallpaper, not the imaginary lady that the real lady saw -- you follow? All that peelin' did was make the real lady crazier, but at least Jim got free 'cause of what I did.

And I'm gonna be free again, soon. I'm bustin' out of this place the first chance I get! But readin' this lady's diary has made me see things a little different about learning and such. I'm not strikin' out for the territories. No sir, I think I needa learn a bit more learning about the world that could make the lady peel at that wallpaper. So instead, I'm gonna get learnin' but not from no widow -- I'm gonna high tail it up to Boston, get myself a job, and enroll myself in school by night. Heck, learnin' like the widow learns ya can make you crazy, but no learnin' at all makes ya crazy too, I see it.

Funny, once I pretended ta be a girl, ta hide, and some old lady found me out right straight away because I didn't catch a ball like a girl in my lap. But now I wonder if mebbe we all aren't so different -- I seen me some strange things in my day but never in all the queer people I met did I meet someone who didn't wanna be free -- man or woman, Black or White......
