In "The Yellow Wallpaper," the details reveal that John is **very controlling of his wife** (option 3). Throughout the story, he dismisses her opinions and feelings, insisting that he knows what is best for her recovery. His authoritative approach and the strict rest cure he imposes emphasize his controlling nature, which ultimately contributes to the protagonist's deterioration.
