In "The Yellow Wallpaper," the society views women as fragile, passive, and subordinate to men. This is depicted through the narrator's husband, John, who patronizingly dismisses her thoughts and emotions, as well as the sister-in-law, who believes that the narrator should just obey the doctor's orders. Both characters demonstrate the societal expectation that women should be overly reliant on male authority and lack agency of their own.
