What do we learn about the married life of the Wrights? By what means isthis knowledge revealed to us?

What will be an ideal response?



  • From Mrs. Hale’s conversations with Mrs. Peters, we learn that over the course of her long, childless (and otherwise empty) marriage to John Wright, a once lively and hopeful young woman has been ground down into a haggard, careworn creature who avoided contact with her neighbors because her husband’s stinginess and controlling nature made it impossible for her to interact with them with any sense of self-respect: “Wright was close. I think maybe that’s why she



kept so much to herself. She didn’t even belong to the Ladies Aid. I suppose she felt she couldn’t do her part, and then you don’t enjoy things when you feel shabby. She used to wear pretty clothes and be lively, when she was Minnie Foster, one of the town girls singing in the choir. But that—oh, that was thirty years ago.”
