    Minnie Wright was a pleasant, affable young woman who loved to sing.  She was much more social, as well:

     ‘‘She used to wear pretty clothes and be lively, when she was Minnie Foster, one of the town girls singing in the choir,’’ Mrs. Hale recalls. (Enotes)

    Once she married Mr. Wright, she became somewhat of a recluse.  Mr. Wright was rather domineering and seemed to quash whatever happiness she had in her life, including her love of singing.  This culminated in Mr. Wright breaking the neck of the canary that Mrs. Wright loved so much; however, this was the final straw for Mrs. Wright. She could take no more and killed Mr. Wright.
