Hale and Mrs. Peters the facts of the motive and their silence of the crime should be analyzed. They were in the Wright’s house to help their husband and the county attorney to solve the mystery but the men did not care about the women’s things, the trifles, they could not imagine that the little details were able to solve the case as when they were in the kitchen and the county attorney was asked if there was something important there and he answered with sarcasm “Nothing here but kitchen things” (67). "The big shot men in a small town" thought that if they were unable to find evidence of the crime, women were much less capable; moreover the observations made by Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters were a laughing stock for men, like when “county attorney picked up the apron. He laughed” and said “Oh, I guess they’re not very dangerous things the ladies have picked up.”(279) Besides of having their remarks ridiculed by men, the women imagined the miserable life of Minnie Foster because the old stove there was in the house, the neighbor did not used to see her, she used sing before become Mrs. Wright, because of the bird-cage they were able to imagine the lonesome life that she had. Sometimes, these findings were cry motives; even so Mr. Wright was known to be a “good man”, “He didn’t drink, and kept his words as well as most, (…), and paid his debts” but according to Mrs. Hale, “he was a hard man.” (202) and the broken door hinge could be another evidence
Because their relationship is an affair, they cannot see each other in the way they want to very often and especially not while other people are around. They are not married to each other which make their relationship very wrong in that community and time- more so wrong than it would be now. John Procter understands that their secret must be kept, but finished, but Abigail doesn’t care that they were caught once and could be caught again. She just wants their relationship back and says, “Oh, I marvel, how such a strong man may let such a sickly wife be-” (miller 22) Abigail then comes to claim that Elizabeth, john’s wife, is “Blackening me (her) name in the village!” She is telling lies about me (her)!” (Miller 22) but he just gets angry at himself because it’s true, and threatens to whip her for talking about his wife that
“Jury of Her Peers” Analysis In a "Jury of Her Peers" by Susan Glaspell the main problem is that the women Martha Hale and Mrs. Peters understand what the men are blind to. Martha Hale and Mrs. Peters began to see what kind of life Mrs. Wright was living with Mr. Wright. The two women start to fit the pieces together, and they end up solving the murder. The men are just looking for motive, they believe that there is an obvious motive, and they over look the small things. The small things end up telling the whole story.
Mrs. Wright's story is told indirectly through a conversation between Martha Hale—whose husband discovered the body of John Wright—and Mrs. Peters, the wife of the local sheriff. The sheriff asks Mrs. Hale to accompany them to the Wright's house so she can keep his wife company while the men investigate the murder scene. Thrown together by circumstance, the women form an immediate bond as they begin gathering some of Minnie's belongings to bring to her in her jail cell. Concluding that there is nothing in the kitchen except for “kitchen things,” the men begin their investigation in the upstairs of the house and in an outside barn. Left alone in Minnie's kitchen, however, the two women begin discovering their own clues about Minnie's possible motive for killing her husband.

Many people kill every day, but should they all be held accountable for it? John Steinbeck’s novel contains many conflicts, but a main issue in Of Mice and Men, revolves around two characters, Lennie, a migrant worker with mental issues, and Curley’s wife, the wife of the bosses son. Lennie should not be accountable for killing Curley’s wife because Lennie is not all mentally there, and she provokes Lennie by demanding him to touch her hair in the first place. There are many reasons why Lennie is not to blame for his actions, one is because he appears to be slow in the head and has a very child-like mentality. In the text it states, “Lennie dabbled his paw in the water and wiggled his fingers so the water arose in little splashes...Lennie watched them go, ‘look, George.

The harsh use of word ‘tart’ for Curley’s wife before her introduction in the novella suggests that her actions are not praised by the men on the ranch .This also implies that Steinbeck wants to creates a false impression about Curley’s wife in the readers head which leads them to prejudice before meeting her.

This thought can lead readers to feel pity on her being lonely and ignore how she behaves. However, this flirtatious expression of Curley’s wife is confirmed when Steinbeck describes her ‘full roughed lips’ and ‘heavily made up eyes’. Steinbeck effective use of adverb ‘heavily’ emphasise that her makeup is
