Piercy also uses words like “miniature” and “wee” when describing the girls possessions to further convey her the innocence of her nature; however, all of it is ruined when one of her classmates “in the magic of puberty” says, “You have a great big nose and fat legs.” The use of sarcasm helps emphasize the vulnerability that this girl must be faced with during the hormonal nightmare that is puberty.

Florence Nightingale changed that, and in doing so, she served as an example of a woman breaking out of the societal expectations of the Victorian Age.

The fact that the women's observations are thought to be mere trifles by the men, clarifies the conflict of the play in terms of gender equality, gender roles, and the social expectations of both genders. For instance, while the county attorney and sheriff are making their observations of the home, they do not take into consideration the awful state of the house as a possible clue of the everyday struggles in Mrs. Wright’s life

Many Buddhists, however, have argued against feminist critiques by using the idea of ultimate truth – that gender lacks intrinsic existence – to show the egalitarian nature of Buddhism, and dismiss the importance of these critiques.
