Was the woman's “escape” her salvation or had she finally lost her mind?

I think her escape just means something worse for the narrator. Her isolation and emotional abuse from her husband reaches a tipping point when she crawls out of the room. The narrator will likely be put in a mental hospital by her husband. I don't see the misogyny in her husband letting her "free".
