The narrator is similar to lady Macbeth in the way that both are suffering from depression.

Explanation:

The yellow wallpaper was a short story written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The main idea of the story was the problem of depression from which a number of women were suffering. Such women should be allowed to make decisions about their lives on their own.

They should be allowed to spend their lives the way they want and do what they want to. The wallpaper in the story is a symbol of the hideous paper of the domestic life which traps so many women.
