Does Jane Die in The Yellow Wallpaper?

In Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s short story ‘The Yellow Wallpaper,’ the character Jane does not explicitly die. The story is written in a first-person narrative, and the ending is somewhat ambiguous. The protagonist, who is often assumed to be named Jane, descends into madness due to the oppressive treatment she receives for her postpartum depression. The story concludes with her identifying herself with the woman trapped in the yellow wallpaper, suggesting a complete mental breakdown rather than physical death. The final lines imply that she has lost her grip on reality, but there is no direct indication of her death.
