Susan Glaspell
Initially, I found it very interesting that Minnie Foster was so cavalier about killing her husband. While she sits in her home and is confronted about her husband's location, she has no appearance of fear or of guilt. She sits there, staring at him, and then laughs. He asks her why he can't speak to her husband and she simply says, "Cause he's dead". She was not one bit excited or moved by this fact. I think at this point she was so encapsulated by the idea of being free. After being silenced for years and not singing, being released from the cage she felt that she was in was occupying her mind more than the death of her husband. What I was mostly confused by was why the women were silent when they found the bird. They found a reason for why Minnie Foster killed her husband, and they don't care to tell anyone about it. Were they being stubborn after their husbands belittled them? I don't blame them. Their observations solved the murder mystery, and their husbands are wandering around the house like they know what they are doing.
