Question about "A Jury of Her Peers" by Susan Glaspell:Of the (5) five literary techniques used to by the author (Susan Glaspell) to disclose or...

I would say that the contrast offered between the boorish
sweeping generalisations of the men conducting the "investigation" and the methodical
psychological profiling used by the women, Mrs Peters and Mrs Hale, to piece together
the events of the murder of Mr Wright is the most compelling and obvious technique
employed by Glaspell.

We see the men's dismissive attitude
of the women who are constantly
-

worrying over
trifles,

when in fact they
are carefully recreating the last movements of Minnie Wright. There is a great irony in
that the women establish the disturbed state of Mrs Wright by the erratic stitching of
the last piece of her quilt, and yet the sherriff asks
-

would the
women know a clue if they did come upon
it?

The contrast in enhanced
by the women not only ascertaining the true crime, and Mrs Wright's motive for murder,
but also being able to conceal the true events from the menfolk in order to protect one
of their own.
