Jury of Her Peers By: Susan Glaspell

Mrs. Wright supposedly killed her husband while he slept. She tied a rope around his neck. Mrs. Wright, in my opinion was abused by her husband, maybe not physically but mentally and emotionally. She was forced quit singing, and to keep to herself. Mrs. Wright and her husband never had any children which makes me question if he contolled that to. I believe Mrs. wright killed her husband because she couldn't take it anymore. I think the final straw happened when he killed her bird. That bird was the one thing that brought joy to her. It was interesting to see how unworried Mrs. Wright was about going to jail. She was just so happy to finally free from him. However; she was very worried about her fruit preserves. :)
