1. The idea of being "crazy" to most of the world is not being able to function in normal society. This being said, the wife in "The Yellow Wall-paper" never hurt anyone or really even herself, should she have been institutionalized?
2.Why do you suppose her name is only suggested at, but never plainly stated?
3. Could she have potentially had a career at least as a successful interior designer?
In response to question 2: I have a possible, answer, at least from a technical perspective. The story is told in first-person narrative. People don't really think of themselves by their own names. Thus "Jane" wouldn't think of herself as "Jane" but just "I."
