Not So Perfect Housewife

Minnie Foster was a person who did all she could to make people happy. I could relate to this because lots of people want to be able to help and make others happy before themselves. After being the wife she was for so long all of the sudden she changes because like all of us when something happens that "changes" us sometimes it is not for the better and in this case it was not. Being able to follow someones dreams is very important and when this does not happen many things can happen to the mind. The struggles that a person can take is different for everyone but everyone handles it differently as well. When not being able to follow the dreams Minnie Foster goes the wrong direction in feeling better, many people find help as they should, talk to friends, and do other exercises to help the stress they might be feeling. Being able to be your own person is one struggle everyone has and being put into someone else's routine is not want women or males want at all. Minnie was feeling trapped, many women do in their marriages and this is why divorces are very high these days. It is very uncommon to find a happy married couple that have been together since high school till their eighties like my grandparents. Minnie only did what she thought was right in her mind at the time and she could not think about being the "perfect" housewife any longer for him.

  1. I believe that under certain pressure and expectations people can do crazy things. She is an example of keeping a colorful bird locked up in a cage. It is a shame that she had to explode from the pressure in such an ungrateful fashion such as murder.
