The woman cannot live as she wants. She has no options, just like the woman stuck in the wallpaper must choose to get out. The paper also represents what was given to him. For example, the woman didn't want to be in the room. She didn't like the newspaper either. Paper was a disadvantage for her because she hates color and drawing. Unfortunately, he has no choice but to watch it or get out of it. It's like his life. She has to do things she doesn't want to and can't do things she wants. These are things that are unfortunate but she doesn't do anything to stop the situations she doesn't.
