1. How would you describe Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale? How are they different from one
another? How do they relate differently to Mrs. Wright’s story?
2. What is resolved and what is left unresolved by the ending of the play? Is the ending
satisfying?
3. How would you describe the different characters’ sense of justice in the play? Why do
you think the women decide to suppress the evidence of the dead canary and the poorly
stitched quilt piece?
