Question

Explain the use of narrative structure in "A Jury of Her Peers," focusing particularly on the notion of "resolution." How does the plot resolve itself? How does this resolution differ from the expected outcome of the story expressed by the townsmen looking for evidence of the crime?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

"A Jury of Her Peers'' was written by Susan Glaspell. She employs a narrative tone to describe the story. The resolution forms part of the story and it's where the story ends. It is at this point that conflicts are resolved and the story comes to an end. The plot was considered as a feminist literature because two female characters were trying to come up with a solution to a mystery. Mrs Hale and Mrs Peters came up with the conclusion that Mrs Wright killed her husband, and her actions are justified. The circumstances behind the death of John Wright leaves the townsmen  in a state of confusion as to what could have led to his death. Mrs Wright killed her husband because she was physically abused by her. Mrs Hale and Mrs Peters hide the evidence against her because they understand how it feels to be humiliated and oppressed by a man. In the end, Mrs Wright is granted freedom.
