Men always tend to judge too quickly. In "A Jury of Her Peers," by Susan Glaspell, Mrs. Hale, Mrs. Peters, Minnie Foster, and Mr. Henderson attempt to investigate why Minnie killed her husband. The story begins when Mr. Peters informs the group, except for Minnie, while she waits in prison, that when he stopped the day before to give Mr. Wright a phone because the couple was living far removed from the rest of the town, he asked Minnie where Mr. Wright was and she calmly replied that he had been hanged the night before. Then the men go upstairs to observe the crime scene, while the women sit around the kitchen talking. By chance, the women discover the motive for the murder while talking about kitchen utensils, “trifles” as the men say. They decided not to inform the men to prevent Minnie from being convicted, as her husband was just as guilty as she was. In the short story "A Jury of His Peers", Glaspell uses strong details and detail devices to argue that the point of the story is how Glaspell portrays men, that a person should not be judged on basis of one's outward appearance and that the small details of life are always important. In “A Jury of His Peers,” Glaspell asserts that men still doubt women and their abilities and concludes that Glaspell demonstrates that men are too quick to judge. "'But would women know a clue if they found out?' » (Glaspell 8). Mr. Hale states this as the men prepare to go look at the crime scene for clues and prepare to leave the women in the kitchen to talk. “In fact, men openly doubt women's ability to read a crime with their subjective experience” (Ortiz 164). Men assume that woman...... middle of paper...... men always doubt a woman's abilities. Men never appreciate the little details of life and think that they are superior to women. Unlike the men who predicted it, the women discover the mystery of the murder. Men never expected the result because they were stereotyped about women. A person should never be judged by their appearance. Works Cited Glaspell, Susan. “A jury composed of his peers.” Every week. np March 5, 1917. Web. March 15, 2014.
