"A Jury of her Peers" by Susan Glaspell and "The story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin

To me the relationships in the two stories were different. Josephine was some what happy with her husband even though she felt trapped by him sometimes but Mrs Wright did not appear to be happy with her husband at all.
The women in the stories act as they do because during the time of the stories were based upon. Women did not really have rights of their own. They had to do as their husbands told them and really did not have much say in their own lives.
The women in the two stories are different in the fact that Josephine was upset at the news that her husband had been killed where Mrs Wright seemed to be numb to the fact that her husband was dead and that she had killed him. The men in the stories are different in their personalities. Mr wright seemed like a very controlling and at times a cruel man where Brently seems like a kind and gentle man. The two men are similar in the fact that they both believed that women were unable to handle things themselves and they must depend on their husbands. The similarities in the two stories is basically that during the time the two stories where based upon people in the two stories felt that women were weak and helpless. That women were not able to think for themselves.
