Answer to Question 1


  • These lives are filled with long hours of hard work, and they seem to receive little in the way of understanding or appreciation from their husbands and the other men who surround them. Men fail to take them seriously because they regard women as preoccupied with trivial and inconsequential concerns while all the worlds important work is carried on by men.



Answer to Question 2


  • Mrs. Wrights account of her husbands death may be absurd on its face and highly suspicious, but the County Attorney has no direct evidence to connect her to the murder. He believes that he has two of the three basicsmotive, means, and opportunityin the identification of a prime suspect, and he wants to establish the third in order to seal his case. As he says, near the end of the play, No, Peters, its all perfectly clear except a reason for doing it. But you know juries when it comes to women. If there was some definite thing. Something to showsomething to make a story abouta thing that would connect up with this strange way of doing it.
