A Journal Of her Queers.

I think the Theme in "A Jury Of Her Peers" is the emphasis of Gender roles. The men all desperately  go to great lengths to solve the crime/case and the women do so almost effortlessly, making this story very postmodern on account of the switching of the roles  of man  and of woman to where the men are rather useless as women were thought to be. Yes, the story could happen today, however, the woman would get off rather than be prosecuted. I do not personally agree with the author's standpoints about murder in the case of self defense or trading murder for twenty years of beating and what not.God says the law is the law and Murder is murder so in the case of Biblical standpoint this story is askew. On a personal note  I thought this story was dreadful. It doesn't even slightly intrigue me.
