"A Jury of Her Peers": Overall Opinion

    In A Jury of Her Peers by Susan Glaspell, reveals the characters of three housewives caged down to hide between their husbands.  First, Mrs. Hale, a seemingly pleasant woman, pays close attention to details and thinks carefully before she speaks.  Although this character is strong, she stays quiet in the mist of her husband.  Next, Mrs. Peters is "small and thin and doesn't have a strong voice"(Glaspell).  Clearly, since she is the wife of the sheriff, Mrs. Peters does not need the speak up with a booming and powerful husband.  Then, Mrs. Wright, once a youthful, cheery choir member, has had all the happiness and joy sucked from her life by Mr. Wright.  I, along with Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters, sympathize with Minnie Wright.  Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters eventually realize the horrible demeaning way the women are being treated.  I admire this pair.  The two hide Minnie guilty tracks and truly see and understand the misery she has endured all the years of her marriage.
