I would describe Mr. and Mrs. Wright as a hardened couple. Mrs. Wright was obviously once very colorful and lively; Mrs. Hale says, "She used to sing real pretty herself" (Glaspell 1416). However, it seems as though her marriage to the quiet, cold Mr. Wright killed her livelihood. The other characters' descriptions of the couple give a pretty good picture of their personalities. Mr. Hale describes John as always asking for peace and quiet (Glaspell 1416). Hale also states that he doesn't "know as what his wife wanted made much difference to John" (Glaspell 1416). From these statements, one can draw the conclusion that Mr. Wright did not bother much with his wife or her wishes. The couple also never had children. All of these things together
