Mrs. Wrights’ physical character before marriage was one of stature and was full of spirit. She was very nicely dressed and regularly attended church on Sunday. She is being described as an innocent school girl as Mrs. Hale states “she wore a white dress with blue ribbons and stood up there in the choir and sang.”(134) Mrs. Hale also compares her to a bird “real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and-fluttery” (107), also the ideal picture of a school girl. After marriage Mrs. Wright no longer keeps up on her appearance as Mrs. Hale points out “and then you don’t enjoy things when you feel shabby” (56). When one feels shabby their physical appearance reflects it. Someone’s mood if down will reflect the worst picture of themselves.

Life has many different twists and turns in it; love can take away the very things in your life that one loves most. Mrs. Wrights' marriage changes her character very dramatically. The person she once was dies and a new passive one emerges. Mrs. Wright’s true inhabitations were taken away from her but in the end she regains the one person she lost, herself.

She had a sense of humor in her personality. This can be seen clearly through her use of irony. Her husband wrung her birds’ neck killing it. Which she saw as the killing of herself, she lived through this bird it was her one joy. Her husband killed her singing, her life, and when she brought her life back through the bird he killed that too. He wanted to be authoritative over her, to rule her life. Mrs. Hale states “She used to sing. He killed that, too” (124). So she went to the bedroom, the room where love is supposed to be mostly pronounced and set out a rope. When her husband fell asleep she wrung his neck and took away his life in the same way he took her life away.
