In John and Minnie Wright’s marriage it was important for Minnie to have children, but for John it was not as important. John was a workingman and when he would come home he expected peace and quiet. The fact that Minnie was home all day, she ne

In conclusion it was evident to see that how in the early 1900’s men were bias. They usually stereotyped women. Men never gave the opportunity to women to show what they were capable of. In the Wright’s marriage that was definitely how Mr. Wright treated his wife. Minnie was inferior to her husband, her work was usually considered small and insignificant. Minnie was a wonderful person whom became emotionally abused by her husband. The thing that had a true significance in Minnie’s life was her true companion, her canary. When Minnie’s canary is found dead, Minnie’s enters in a state of rage. It is mentioned in the play that there was a gun in the Wright’s home. Minnie could have used it in the killing of her husband; but Minnie does not forget how her canary was strangled. That is why she then strangles her husband in the same form he killed her canary, and she does it in memory of Wings.

When the sheriff, Mr. Hale and the attorney go out to the Wright’s home it was obvious that men in those days would belittle women. They always seemed to think that they were the most important factor of society. When the ladies are together they are very loyal to the aspect of women. They show their feminism by putting themselves in Minnie’s shoes and understanding how Minnie lived under an authoritative man. They also concluded how lonely Minnie was. With all the evidence from this home, it was obvious to see that John Wright had become their enemy. “Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters, solve the mystery of the murder of John Wright-include such minutiae as a soiled roller towel, a broken stove, a cracked jar of preserves, and an erratically stitched quilt block”(Hedges 250). In the play the men had no idea that these ladies had solved the case, and if they did know they would have not acknowledged it.

Another important factor that drove Minnie in murdering her husband was that Minnie was a very lonely person. Living in a place where there were not many people, Minnie lost the cheerful personality that she once had when she was younger. Her neighbor Mrs. Hale refused to go to her home because she did not think John Wright was such a friendly person. Because of John Wright she was secluded; her social life was diminished by this man she married whom she thought would be there for her in all aspects, but yet was not. Minnie was obviously afraid of this man, because she literally stayed home to put up with his abuse. Becoming lonely can agonize a person a great deal. Minnie’s friends would have gone to visit her, but with John Wright’s behavior who would have wanted to go and visit.

The preserves in the kitchen are a perfect example of Minnie’s behavior. When these preserves were in the jar they were sweet just as she was. The preserves broke because it was very cold in the house, which is exactly what happened to Minnie. Minnie was a sweet and humble person on the inside. The coldness of her surroundings was what led her to break out in this awful person she became when she murdered her husband. When Minnie was questioned about John’s whereabouts she answers with no emotion. “Mr. Hale asks “ Can’t I see John?” “No,” she says, kind o’ dull
