Question

i lie here on this great immovable bed – it is nailed down, i believe – and follow that pattern about by the hour. it is as good as gymnastics, i assure you. i start, well say, at the bottom, down in the corner over there where it has not been touched, and i determine for the thousandth time that i will follow that pointless pattern to some sort of a conclusion.
i know a little of the principle of design, and i know this thing was not arranged on any laws of radiation, or alternation, or repetition, or symmetry, or anything else that i ever heard of.

done

Explanation:

The narrator's description of the wallpaper as a "pointless pattern" that she follows "by the hour" and "for the thousandth time" reflects her sense of monotony and lack of purpose. The mention of the bed being "nailed down" also adds to the feeling of entrapment and immobility. These details suggest that the narrator's life is repetitive and meaningless.

Answer:

the narrator's feeling that her life is repetitive and meaningless
