A Jury of her Peers / Susan Glaspell

“No, peters,” said the county attorney incisively; “it’s all perfectly clear, except the reason for doing it,” (Glaspell 424).  The story is very interesting because the one who should no how to look for evidence don’t find it and the women who are not trained do find the evidence.  The men are portrayed to be condescending of the women.  They think they are just looking at Mrs. Wright’s stitch work.  They are partially right.  The women are really just looking for the thinks Mrs. Wright asked for.  They do happen to find more then they were looking for though.  By showing most of the story showing the women finding the evidences by sympathizing with Mrs. Wright it creates sympathy in the reader.  The story show what the women’s life was like.  In the beginning of the story it eludes to disorder giving Mrs. Wright away because Mrs. Hale Does not want to leave her chores half done.
