The speaker uses, “a flight of small cheeping birds,” as a metaphor for old age (2-3). The death of the old lady comes “by a dark wind-”(9). Though the dark wind is the metaphor that brings the old lady to her death, the actual death does not occur until “the flock has rested” (12). The speaker ends the poem with “a shrill piping of plenty” which can be thought of as the woman’s loved ones in mourning (17-18).

The women use their emotions in order to figure out that Mrs. Wright did commit the murder. By the end of the play they decide to protect her because they seemed to relate to the abuse she endured in the household. The murder was justifiable because during this time period there was no such thing as divorce. Mrs. Wright was dying slowly because of her husband, and the only way to escape was to kill him the same way he killed her bird through strangulation. Mrs. Wright’s situation is comparable to a prisoner who is condemned to incarceration for life with no parole when they have never committed a crime.
Some people are unwilling to change even though the change might be for good. Through the character of Miss Emily, we see a young woman violated by her father’s strict mentality.

Knowing that Darl knows of her pregnancy because of his innate ability to look into people`s hearts and see into their deepest secrets is what compelled her to tell Gillipse that he burnt the barn down. She is one of the biggest advocates to put him in a mental institution thereby ensuring no one would believe a word he said if perhaps he was to give her away.
Not only did Jason do that, but his soon to be father-in-law King Creon demands that Medea and her children leave at once or after she persuades him after a day. (Lines 279-280 and Lines 350-365, Medea) She decides to get revenge or “justice” by trying to hurt Jason in the deepest way possible. “If I should find some way, some strategy to pay my husband back, bring him to justice, keep silent.” (Lines 265-267, Medea) The way Medea decides to seek revenge however is not really justification it is just plain cruelty and revenge. She is justified in wanting to make him pay, but is not justified in the way she ends up doing so.
