ENG 266 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Quilting
Document Summary
Take note: a party telephone is a shared telephone and john wright does not care what his wife thinks. The thing mrs. wright is worried about after her husband dies is her fruit. The men call this a trifle, it"s small and does not matter to them. Quilt - some had good stitches, some had bad/wild stitches. Door hinge - looks like it was yanked off. All of these things suggest that mrs. wright lost her mind a little bit. Gives mrs. wright some motive to kill her husband. The bird, found in a sewing box, had its neck wrung just as mr. wright"s neck had been. Possibly, mrs. wright bought the bird and it started singing and mr. wright killed it because he likes silence. Mrs. wright had killed him by wringing his neck. Men"s point of view versus the women"s point of view. Men believe the crime of killing mr. wright was the real crime; legal.
