or something about her husband's choice to leave her and how that reveals the true status of their marriage.
Considering her position, it might be interesting to consider whether Mary is a sympathetic character. Thus, a thesis statement might look like this:
Although she murders her husband, the portrayal of Mary Maloney elicits sympathy in the reader.
The body paragraphs might shape up this way:
Body Paragraph 1: Explain how Mary is devoted to her husband, meeting his every need as soon as he returns home. Explain how she seems to anticipate in advance what he needs, such as his need for quiet as he sits in his chair with a drink. Point to evidence such as the section below which shows her devotion to Patrick:
She loved to luxuriate in the presence of this man, and to feel—almost as a sunbather feels the sun—that warm male glow that came out of him to her when they were alone together.
Body Paragraph 2: Explain how her husband's bombshell that he is leaving catches her completely off guard. She is six months pregnant and cannot even process the information. In an effort to make sense of his words, she decides that maybe ignoring him completely will change the situation:
Her first instinct was not to believe any of it, to reject it all. It occurred to her that perhaps he hadn’t even spoken, that she herself had imagined the whole thing. Maybe, if she went about her business and acted as though she hadn’t been listening, then later, when she sort of woke up again, she might find none of it had ever happened.
Patrick Maloney has been such a deceptive husband that Mary has no clue this was coming. She is caught completely off guard and then reacts almost as a reflex.
Body Paragraph 3: A good argument always addresses the opposing point of view. Thus, in your final body paragraph, you could examine how murder is innately immoral. However, you could then link Mary's reaction to her historical context.
As a woman in the early 1950s, she is limited in her options. She finds herself much at the mercy of her husband (who is worried about how she might make a ripple for him in the business community) and likely with no real opportunity to provide for herself and her child. She also seems to kill her husband in a moment of temporary insanity with no premeditation. All of these factors would point to some leniency in judging Mary's actions.
I hope these ideas are helpful as you consider both your thesis and the body paragraphs of this paper.
