Minnie Wright is a character from Her America and the wife of deceased Mr.
Wright. The death of Mr. Wright was being looked into and the women were at the
house to pick stuff to bring to Minnie. Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters discovered
and made assumptions on what must’ve truly happened in the Wright’s house, but
decided to keep it to their selves to protect Minnie because they saw how she
was changed. They stuck up for Minnie because they knew she wouldn’t not stand
a very good chance at a fair trial if they’re husbands were to know about the
things they found. Minnie Wright had a really difficult time with individuality
because her marriage changed her and made her an unhappy person. She was struggling
with individuality because society expected her to be a perfect wife for her
husband. Her husband that did not care much for her. She used to sing, wear
nice clothes, and be cheerful, but she was not cheerful, wearing nice clothes
or singing in the choir anymore. Society expects all women to be this ideal
wife that doesn’t exist because a husband and wife do not agree on every topic
and the wives have their own opinion. It’s hard to be this ideal person when
the one you’re with is unappreciative. Minnie could’ve stayed a happy person if
her husband respected her the same way she was expected to respect him. She
could not conform to the expectations of society because that wasn’t who she
was and what was expected of her made her break down.
I believe that this happens in a lot of relationships. many husbands forget that their wives have dreams of her own. The society that we live in believes that the man should be the bread winner. many women now a days do not believe this because we have things in life that we want to accomplish. Men do expect to get respect but do not give us women the same respect which i believe that it is not fair. I believe that you have to give respect to even get any in return. It does not matter who you are, if you want respect give it.
