Explanation:

In Gilman's time, women's concerns were often dismissed. Here, John disregards his wife's feelings about the wallpaper, seeing her worries as "fancies," which reflects the social attitude of undervaluing women's perspectives.

Answer:

John views his wife’s concerns as unimportant and silly.
