The person that the narrator sees in the wallpaper is not a person at all. She is seeing her psychological self in the wallpaper. The wallpaper is a representation of the room that she is forced to remain in. Her husband has confined her to bed rest, and she only wants to escape. The woman behind the wallpaper is a reflection and representation of her psychological distress because of the situation, thus she becomes crazy at the end. This helps explain why she is tearing away at the wallpaper when she finally "goes completely over the edge" (she is trying to free herself psychologically). Take a look at Gilbert and Gubar's essay in Contexts for Criticism if you want to read up on it.
