        <description><![CDATA[There is also a possibility that 'wright' is used as a maker of things. Here Wright the husband has made his wife into a miserable slattern, and then into a killer. I also think there could also be some connection with 'wright' the past tense of 'wring/wrought' as in killing the bird - although I am struggling to find concrete evidence of this.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Both symbolize the motive for the murder of John Wright and the means to freedom for Minnie Wright.  Because John Wright isolated his wife and stifled everything cheerful out of their home (including wringing the neck of her precious bird), Minnie struck back by strangling the life out of him (just as he did literally from the bird and figuratively from her).  Although Minnie is in jail for the death of her husband for the duration of the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The women are marginalised by the men and society in the story. it is important to note that this is so clearly seen that the reader identifies with the skill of the women in their careful reconstruction of the dismal life of Minnie Wright and their insight into the world of the farmer's wife at this time. The men assume that the women are ignorant and they do not see the value in the women's depth of knowledge of a life (that of Minnie)...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Glaspell reveals the reality of gender marginalization in a variety of ways. I think the most compelling of these would be the function of the investigation of the crime.  The investigating officers disparage much of what the women have to say, as they are convinced of their own superiority of their investigating techniques.   It is not merely that the women are not heard in their assertions and ideas, but rather dismissed on the basis of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Glaspell's decision to begin her story with John Wright's murder and Minnie Wright's subsequent imprisonment rather than with the murder itself enables her to stress more effectively the tension and fundamental differences between men and women.
When the men (district attorney, sheriff, and witness) discuss the crime scene, they do so in a very detached manner, disregarding small details that might hint at a motive (what they so badly need to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Laughter serves two functions in Glaspell's otherwise dark story of a woman who kills her husband.  First, laughter shows nervousness and irony.  When Hale is relating his contact with Minnie Wright and her response to his asking about her husband, he says that

" 'she--laughed. I guess you would call it a laugh.' "

Of course, Minnie knows that no one will be talking to her husband again because she murdered him.  She most likely laughs...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Although the title of this short story may sound as if it is a courtroom drama, it is not. The peers referred to in the title are friends of Minnie Wright, a farm wife suspected of strangling her cold and cruel husband.
In the story, the author, Susan Glaspell, relates a series of events through the conversation of two women who accompany their husbands (one a witness of sorts to the crime, the other the county sheriff) on a visit to the scene...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Glaspell describes the looks that pass between the women when they discover the dead bird that Minnie Wright has hidden.  They had already found the empty bird cage and discussed how much Minnie had changed since she got married.  Thus, they know that the bird is dead and that it was probably the one joy in Minnie's life.  When they find the dead bird, they immediately realize that they have found the motive--Mr. Wright killed Minnie...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The narrator in "A Jury of Her Peers" is cast as a third person omniscient voice.  The narrator gives an"objective" rendering of the facts, not speaking in any one person's voice, but speaking through all of their voices.  I think a case can be made that the narrator is Glaspell, herself.  Certainly, we can presume that Glaspell's time as a journalist in Iowa, the fact that she asserts that the play is based off of an actual case of a woman...]]></description>
