Mr. Thorwald is Guilty I, Jeffries, believe Mr. Thorwald is guilty for three main reasons. He has done so many suspicious things that there is no way that it is a coincidence. First, I heard a scream at night. Right after Mr. and Mrs. Thorwald got into a fight there was a loud scream. Immediately after, Mr. Thorwald left his apartment to supposedly hide her body. In this scenario it would make sense that Mr. Thorwald killed his wife after the argument. Secondly, Mr. Thorwald had a bunch of suspicious items in his apartment. With my binoculars, I peeked in Mr. Thorwald’s apartment and I saw a bunch of saws which wouldn't be used for anything but killing. Then, Mr. Thorwald had a bunch of his wife's jewelry. Lisa said that women don't leave

    The more notorious the case, the greater the number of prospective informant. They rush to testify like vultures to rotting flesh or sharks to blood. The are smooth and convincing liars(George Carlin, p.1).” Jailhouse informants are a major factor to convicting innocent people. Using informants makes an unjust and unfair trial. The Thomas Sophonow case used jailhouse informants to convict Sophonow of a crime he did not commit. Thomas was convicted of murdering Barbara Stoppel at the Ideal Donut Shop in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Thomas has a highly suspect and was brought to jail. Three informants claimed that Thomas has confessed to them that he had murdered Barbara. All three informants lied on the stands. Mr. McQuade who was one of the informants testified under duress. Two police officers had told him that if he did not testify against Thomas voluntarily, the Crown was going to exposed him of being an informant. Another informant was Mr. Cheng who was charged with 26 counts of fraud. He hoped if he testified against Thomas his charges were to be dropped and luckily for him they were. The last informant was Mr. Martin who was described as “a prime example of convincing mendacity of jailhouse informants. He seems to have heard more confessions than many dedicated priest(Sarah Harland-Logan, p.1).” There were other 11 informants who were eager to give false testimony

  • Trifles By Susan Glaspell Literary Analysis

    537 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Trifles by Susan Glaspell, the men ignore key signifiers that Mrs. Wright is guilty, yet the two women present are able to see these clues. The men shrug these off as mere “trifles, which sets up the story to be a social commentary because the women are able to solve the crime while the men are laughing at their observations. The men first comment on the women worrying over “trifles” when Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale discuss the preserves being ruined (747). The women understand that this is a relevant concern because it symbolizes disrupt in the household, as well as Mrs. Wright’s lack of concern for her husband’s death. This intimation brought upon by the women in the house edifies the fact that they solely understand the motives Mrs. Wright might have for killing her husband.

    The wife would be legally dead in the eyes of the law. In the 1800’s laws allowed men to beat their wives with anything, as long as it was not thicker than a thumb. When* there was a divorce or child custody, the law would favor men (Eisenberg and Ruthdotter, 1998). Universities and colleges wouldn’t accept women, so they didn’t have the ability to higher their education if they wanted to. If you were a female back then, then you were thought to be housewives and nothing more. Women were forced to be completely dependable on men. They were stripped of their dignity and

Their identity depends on males : Marlow’s aunt, Kurtz’s Intended, the Company’s two women, etc. In our modern world, both the men and the women have equal responsibility to and equal dignity in the society. The term ‘Angel in the House’ has lost its relevance. So the way Conrad presents the women appears shocking to us.

He only drops small hints, to his friend about the death of his Duchess. "I gave commands/ then all smiles stopped together" (45-46). These lines mean that the Duke, playing a very dominant part, tells his wife to stop smiling and flirting. Being told this, she still continues on, which I believe she does not notice or see herself as being flirtatious. As a result I believe that the Duke killed his wife, or had someone to put her to her death.
