I thought the plot of this story was very well written and completely creative. Minnie Wright murders her husband and is about to be blamed for it, however, there is there is little to no proof accuse her and have it hold in court. This is when the county attorney and Mr. Peters start to investigate her home. They are desperately trying to find any clue that can hold her accountable for his murder. When they get into the house everything is a mess, up to the stitching of the quilt that Minnie was making.
There is a little bit of chauvinism in this story but in the end it is the women who are the most insightful and prevail. They are the ones who find the motive, not Mr. Peters. The women hide the evidence because they feel bad for their friend. This story seems to look at the women's role in society as well as some human ethics. I think the story shows a great example of ethical behavior and what is not ethical. It is important to understand from this story that the women's behavior is unacceptable and their choice could be detrimental to their society.
