Regarding the actions incurred by Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters, I think that considering the time of the play the ladies acted out of fear of retaliation against Minnie Wright. They were trying to protect her because being a female during that time was difficult and they knew the consequences of her actions. Given that statement and putting myself in their shoes, I might have been scared too. I know that if that same situation would have happened today, I wouldn't have hesitated to inform the individuals about what I knew. Now, we must remember that there is not objective evidence pointing out Mrs. Wright as the murderer of her husband. There were assumptions and conclusions based on some clues, but as we all know, everyone is innocent until proven
