At the beginning of the story, the male domination and confiscation of women's
opinion became evident when Mr. Henderson and Mr. Peters decided not to inspect
the kitchen because it is a place for women and nothing important in it, which made
me feel sorry for the condition of the women in the story. How their opinion is
marginalized and treated on the basis that they were found to cook and care just about
the home and the family only, and despite this male domination, I very much liked the
emergence of feminine intuition and how Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters acted and started
looking for evidence, and how they understood and knew the position of Mrs. Wright
that she was the wife of a dictator who did not find happiness with him and how they

I think this is a great injustice, Mrs.

Wright and that she lived a very difficult life, which made her think of salvation in any way. I feel feelings of sadness and feelings that give me strength as well, as women at that time were suffering in silence and this encouraged me to defend my right to happiness, and I feel that the writer wanted to communicate this idea through writing to represent women. A lesson in deserving happiness and not being silent about their right, and this taught me and affected me so much that women are being exploited and persecuted at that time, and it made me think how much his lady’s story is similar to Mrs. Wright’s story, but they did not speak, and I think they should feel the strength after this story so that it does not end with them The matter of extreme depression, like Mrs. Wright. After my reading, I feel that we must strive for our happiness and seek help if we feel the need for it and we should not be silent so that we do not act in a moment of anger, a wrong act that could harm us.
