A Jury of Her Peers In the short story “A Jury of Her Peers,” by Susan Glaspell, one of the main characters, Mrs. Hale, goes through many different emotions and situations that help to develop the story. The story begins when Mrs. Hale, Mr. Hale, Mr. Peters, and Mrs. Peters go to the Wright’s old house to find clues to solve the murder of Mr. Wright. Growing up, Mrs. Hale knew Mrs. Wright as Minnie Driver and how young and beautiful she once was. The two women are left alone while the men are looking for clues, and they soon discover how Mr. Wright was murdered. This essay will discuss the feelings and emotions that Mrs. Hale goes through while discovering the horrible truth of how Mr. Wright was murdered. When Mrs. Hale first discovers that she must go to the Wright’s with her husband, while he tells the story of how he found Mr. Wright, she is in the middle of baking a loaf of bread. When first entering the house, Mrs. Hale feels somewhat guilty for not have visiting her old friend in the past twenty years. “It never seemed like a very cheerful place,” Mrs. Hale explained as the reason for not visiting Mrs. Wright in years (p.25). “But I tell you what I do wish, Mrs. Peters. I wish I had come over sometimes when she was here. I wish I had,” says Mrs. Hale--she feels guilty for letting her old friend live such a boring and dull life (p.31).
