Essay / Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Wright - 639
Many authors have different types of writing and different ways of telling the story, whether it is a horror type story, a horror type story romantic or even a comedy type story. . However, in this story by Susan Glaspell, it is a fiction type story that is about Mrs. Wright who seems to have lost control of her emotions and clichés. She kills her abusive husband who is found dead with a rope around his neck while she slept, but no one knows the motive for his murder. The inequality between Mrs. Wright and Mr. Wright, based on gender, affects Mrs. Wright's sense of enjoyment of life, which explains the motive for Mrs. Wright's murder. Factors such as loneliness, depression and lack of freedom justify how Mrs. Wright's sense of enjoyment of life was negatively affected and are the reason why Mrs. Wright murdered her husband. Wright's loneliness indirectly causes Mr. Wright's death once sadness is triggered in Mrs. Wright's mind. Indeed, it is said in the story that Mrs. Wright is alone and lives in a dark place, stating: “I never liked this place. Maybe because it's in a hollow and you can't see the road. I don't know what it is, but it's a lonely place and always has been. I wish I’d come and see Minnie Foster sometime” (Glaspell 270). Mrs. Wright dislikes the location of the house because it is isolated from the surrounding people and roads. Apparently, when she was young, she was a woman who was full of life and loved to sing and dance, but when she married Mr. Wright, he forced her to change her environment and life, which led her to kill her husband. This abrupt change in her life affects her characters and behaviors, making her alone and lifeless... middle of paper... eager to take revenge and kill her husband. For Mrs. Wright, singing represents the freedom that Mr. Wright took away from her by killing her bird and since she no longer has this right, she killed her husband. Mr. Wright took Mrs. Wright's freedom, which was allowed at the time because men had more power than women, so Mr. Wright is allowed to take everything from her. In this case, he took away her freedom, which Mrs. Wright appreciates having. Being deprived of liberty negatively affects Mrs. Wright's sense of enjoyment of life and may be grounds for killing her husband. The motive for Wright's murder is mainly due to the inequality between Mr. Wright and Mrs. Wright, which leads to loneliness, depression and lack of freedom. They all take away the pleasure and enjoyment of life from her which results in the death of her husband..
