Not a Fan.

In A Jury of Her Peers, there seems to be multiple themes, but only one shouts the loudest. The overarching theme in this story is the role of males dominating females, which I disagree with. I understand and fully accept the fact that men should lead and be over women, as the Bible calls them to do, but not in a scrutinizing or degrading manner. The author portrays this negative action in A Jury of Her Peers numerous times. Recalling one instance in particular that says, "women are used to be worrying over trifles" (112). Implying that women seem to only spend their life in the kitchen, or doing ridiculously simplistic tasks that utter no importance. That statement really fired myself up. Not only did the belittlement of women do so, but also Glaspell's view of murder. One simply cannot overlook murder as a means of self-defense, unless the person is an unbeliever. The Bible clearly states murder as being sin and that man should flee from committing such an act. Being the follower of Christ that I am, I found myself in strong contradiction to the entirety of A Jury of Her Peers.
