I loved this it's very interesting within itself but even more so when you consider the various metaphors and analogies it can communicate.

This is ultimately one of my favorite horror stories.

We get an unreliable narrator, suffering from postpartum depression and really just being punished for it. Her husband/physician doesn’t actually believe anything is wrong with her yet isn’t allowing her to do anything besides stay in this decaying room, including anything as simple express herself in writing. She immediately convinces herself that the room is a nursery but it’s more likely that it was used to house/imprison an insane person.  She has no escape or outlet besides staring at this funky wallpaper. Of course it’s going to start warping and her mind will play tricks on her. It’s almost funny that he’s so shocked in the end that he faints. What did he expect?
