From the Paper:

"It is understandable that the narrator feels uneasy in the room: the room and many of its features twist the common comforts of a home. For example, a window typically presents a view of possibilities. For the narrator, it represents a view of a world of which she cannot be part. The barred windows show that she is barred from the outside world both physically and mentally."
