Answer to Question 1

• Citing once more the quotation from Prof. Ruth E. Zehfuss earlier in this entry, the question is whether individuals have a right to follow their own moral beliefs when their beliefs conflict with the law of the state. A case can easily be made that Glaspell strongly communicates her own answer to this question. The issue of whether or not your students agree with her implied conclusion could be a basis for some very spirited class discussion.

Answer to Question 2

Mrs. Hale is about to sit in the rocker when she remembers her husbands description of Minnie Wright sitting there and calmly telling him about her husbands murder, which brings that descriptionand Mrs. Wrights situationvividly back into our awareness. As they discuss the stitching on the quilt block, the two women glance nervously at the door, worried that the men might suddenly return, which conveys their awareness of the dangerous territory they are entering. The most obvious instances come at the end, when they conceal the dead bird and the quilt pieces from the Sheriff and the County Attorney.
