To begin, the marriage of the Wright’s was not your typical view of a happy life. Mrs. Wright and her husband did not have any children, which was not common in your regular marriage back then. This made the life of Minnie Wright lonesome, as Mr. Wright went to work all day and was not the best company when he got home. Mrs. Hale explains, “I could’ve come. I stayed away because it weren’t cheerful-and that’s why I ought to have come….Not having children makes less work-but it makes a quiet house, and Wright out to work all day, and no company when he did come in” (1204). This quote suggests John Wright was not the most loving or compassionate when he came in from work. That being said, you can see why Minnie has a motive here. Loneliness and unhappiness would drive anyone insane, especially over a long period of time.

Next, Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters find evidence that make them suspect violence in the house. The presence of John Wright in Minnie’s life changed her forever. Mrs. Hale comments, “Did you know John Wright, Mrs. Peters?... he didn’t drink, and kept his word as well as most, I guess, and paid his debts. But he was a hard man Mrs. Peters. Just to pass the time of day with him-[ Shivers.] Like a raw wind that gets to the bone” (1204,1205). Mrs. Hale knew John Wright and the kind of man he was. Therefore, she knows what he is capable of. Mrs. Peters says, “Why, look at this door. It is broke. One hinge is pulled apart” (1204). Mrs. Hale looks as well, “Looks as if someone’s been rough with it” (1204). They find a bird cage, a bird that was obviously Minnie’s, with the door half ripped off. This is suggesting that John and Minnie most likely had an altercation over the bird, and it got violent, hence, the broken hinge. The hinge is broken as is their marriage. In reflection, this is a possible motive to kill.

Lastly, the evidence of the bird cage leads to the women finding a horrible surprise, which further suggests she killed him. Mrs. Hale can remember a man selling canaries around the town annually, and Minnie must have purchased one, why else for the bird cage. She can also recall Minnie loving to sing, another reason to have a bird. Mrs. Hale claims, “There was a man around last year selling canaries cheap, but I don’t know as she took one; maybe she did. She used to sing real pretty herself” (1204). This explains that Minnie had a bird that she loved very much. As Mrs. Hale searches for sewing material for Minnie, she opens a box, “Why- [Mrs. Peters bends nearer, then turns her face away.] There is something wrapped up in this piece of silk. Oh Mrs. Peters-its” (1204). Mrs. Peters helps her finish the sentence, “It’s the bird…. Somebody-rung-its-neck” (1204). They are astonished by this, but this could be the last piece of evidence to explain John Wright’s murder. Minnie loved that bird; why wouldn’t she? John killed her only piece of happiness, and she snapped. This is yet another act of violence and motive to kill.

The Wright family did not have the average lifestyle. Minnie lived with a husband for years that neglected her. He did not give her any children; therefore, their house was lonesome and quiet. She had one special friend that made her days go by better, her canary, but that did not last long. Mrs. Wright lived with violence and loneliness for years, and it seems Mr. Wright strangled the only happiness his wife had. With the evidence found, Minnie Wright had several motives to kill her husband.
