These can all indicate that this room was used in the past to restrain people, possibly mentally ill patients. The symbolism in story is the yellow wall paper. Yellow wall paper is a mash up of this off yellow background and lines that curl and bend at certain points. The narrator does not seem to find any type of pattern or any reason why someone would ever design something of this nature.

Through out the story she feels like her motions are eating her alive, the only way she can relieve this burden is if she writes them down. She begins to the write them until it begins to exhaust her. As her mind begins to come apart she starts to see a women in the wall paper. The woman she women in a way is trapped behind bars like the narrator is trapped behind the bars of her window. The narrator does not fully lose her mind until the end, and it is until the end she rips the wall paper off the wall she loses her mind.
