What attitudes toward women do the Sheriff and the County Attorneyexpress? How do Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters react to these sentiments?
What will be an ideal response?
- Both men take a patronizing attitude toward women. Sheriff Peters is the one who mocks them for being concerned about the stitching in Mrs. Wright’s quilt block; the resulting laughter at their expense is very embarrassing to them, and may be a factor in their decision to conceal what they have discovered. Mr. Henderson, the County Attorney, is, if anything, even more offensive. He is smugly dismissive of anything that doesn’t fit his preconceived notions—witness his sarcastic observations about Mrs. Wright’s supposed poor housekeeping skills, despite the explanations of the women. Even when he thinks he is being broadminded and tolerant, he sounds smarmy and condescending, as when he says, “And yet, for all their worries, what would we do without the ladies?”
