Even today, the morals behind Mrs. Dwindles and Mrs. Sound’s decision to protect Mrs. Wright against criminal charges are begging to have their validity challenged. One could argue that the ladies protected Minnie, because they saw themselves in her. It would have been unfair to condemn her. However, when you consider that the play sensationalizes this conflict between social norms and what people need, and between who they are and their true identity, it is not surprising that viewers will react. Minnie was desperate forlorn for some time and had suffered from emotional and physical abuse. It is possible that the murder of the only living thing who thought about Minnie would have been a form of retribution. You could also argue that Mrs. Wright committed murder, as neither the death of an animal nor the long-term difficulties of their relationship excuses murder. In assisting her, Mrs. Solidity and Ms. Diminishes were able to approve homicide by assisting and abetting.
They think that men won’t understand. They find the flying creature of Mrs. Wright suffocated and covered in silk. They believe, based on their intuition and an understanding of the perspective a woman had at that time about marriage, that Mrs. Wright murdered her dear feathered animal and then killed her husband in revenge. However, they need solid proof to confirm their findings. The men who surround them are likely to dismiss the proof they have as trivial and unimportant. So, they choose not to reveal it. They’re used to men expressing their opinions. They don’t reveal the proof because they care about Mrs. Wright, and they would rather not uncover anything that could indicate a mental process behind her crime.
The harm has been done. The culprit for the insidiousness will also be arrested. The victims of this foul play have already served their masters in subservience. They are now in despair. Lewis, in the middle of the kitchen, says, with an emotional contradiction, “Women are accustomed stressing out over trivial matters.” Yet, Mrs. Solidness is the one who does the exact opposite. The men will use the canary’s death as evidence against Mrs. Wright, so they cover the canary to make it look like a joke. The singing bird was the only taste that Mrs. Peters could find in the bleak and detached life of the lady. Robust & Mrs. Peters are more interested in the inconspicuous subtleties of Mrs. Wright’s life than in her undeniable suffering.
Murder is not right. They should have gotten a superior to handle this. She was angry, but when you are that angry you can be dangerous. I do believe she should have surrendered him instead of killing her.
