Note[edit]
Hi, I looked over your draft. My main note here is that we can only summarize what others have said about the work. The material needs clarification about who is making what claims. For example, you write:
- Moreover, the author brought up how ironic this concept can be when she made Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peter conceal the motive behind Mrs. Wright murderer, viewing it as the wrong thing to do.
The question I have is basically who stated this - it comes across as Mustazza Lenord stating this, but it was sourced with something written by J. Madison Davis. Also, I need to note that Davis doesn't state that this was the wrong thing to do - he actually states:
- A group of women conceal the fact that their friend, abused by her husband, murdered him. By the time we reach the story’s conclusion, we generally agree with their decision and have come to view the sheriff as an antagonist. The women are not doing “good,” in the conventional sense, but the sheriff is certainly not “evil.” His choices, as a man and a representative of the law, show us his blindness to the emotional cruelties inflicted on the wife for many years. Her suffering justifies the difficult choice to remain silent, and readers, with perhaps some reticence, agree.
Basically, he's not saying that it was the wrong thing to do. He's saying that it wasn't a good thing to do in the conventional sense. He also points out that the sheriff was blind to the cruelty the woman experienced - in other words, Davis is saying that while the women didn't do the conventionally good thing by concealing the dead bird, they were doing something that was good in a different way by hiding it and remaining silent, as the murder was rationalized (or at least made understandable and justified) by the years of abuse. He's playing with the idea of good versus bad, stating that it's not a case of something falling strictly into one category or under one definition.
I've written a bit of a revamp to the section as best as I could, to give you an example of the writing style you need to use. One thing with the themes section - this should be general as far as Glaspell's work goes and shouldn't focus too heavily on A Jury of her Peers offhand.
