    Although the theme of Susan Glaspell’s "Jury of Her peers" is about the ultimate fate of Minnie Wright‚ the central story line is about a key character that determines Mrs. Wright’s fate.

I think Faulkner chose “we” rather than “I” to insinuate the town as a whole view of Emily. She was a duty to the whole town. Emily felt she had privilege over comon town folk and their
