The social diversities and in-depth analysis of the influences of gender A jury of her peers? Or men subjugating woman into nothing more than cooks and cleaners? This book made woman seem as though they’re just house wives, and men are superior to the woman race. The social diversities and gender roles play a huge role in the “A jury of her peers” for obvious reasons. The gender roles in this short story are the exact opposite of the 20th century today. The diversities of men and woman are always deeply portrayed in movies, media and most importantly literature. Men are the bread winners, woman are supposed to cook and clean and listen to everything their husbands say. The main character is Minnie, she is under investigation for murdering her husband, she is not in the story at all, no dialogue is formed for her. Though she is the main character, Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters are valuable characters in the short story. My focus in this paper however, will be the dialogue of the men and woman, and how they (the women) are treated, and used. This story “A jury of her peers “exemplifies the differences between the two (men and women) as they conduct the investigation of Mr. Wright. From the beginning of the, you can see the difference of the gender roles. The men are confident and have no fear of what’s inside, but the women are scared and timid approaching the house. Prior to this, Mrs. Hale was very scared that her husband would say unnecessary comments to the sheriff, thus getting Minnie into more trouble than she is already in. Mrs. Hale is very peculiar woman; she keeps her voice at an even tone the whole book and watches what she says closes. Though she knows Minnie is under investigation for her husband’s murder she still sympathizes with her and makes sure her husband says exactly what he saw and not what he thinks of. While all of the investigation continues after the attorney listened to
