I prefer it as weird fiction where the MC is made vulnerable by her own struggles exacerbated by misogyny and her goddamn fucking husband. Like, is the consensus that he was trying to get rid of her? Because there's no way he thinks he's actually helping her, jesus.

Ultimately it doesn't really matter if the wallpaper was really some non-euclidian runes that summoned forth a possessing monster, but I like it more if that's what the character thinks.

I thought that during that time period, sticking her in the attic and not letting her do any kind of work was what they thought would help her. If that's the case, her husband probably thought he really was helping her.

It sounds crazy to us, but there was a time in history when people DID think these types of treatments helped, which is why they were so common. Women were put in asylums against their will for lots of trivial, nonsense reasons like being "promiscuous", "hysteria", going through menopause or just being more trouble than their families wanted to handle. Some of the commitments were likely spiteful. But keep in mind that the general medical consensus at the time had some nutty beliefs about what would help a woman who was depressed, etc.
