Equality among men and women was tough at the time and arguably still is to this day. Women were seen as inferior in many ways and could feel trapped in their relationships, feel neglected despite having good points to prove, and feel as if they are significantly less important than men, which while that not being true, that was the general consensus at the time.

Does the punishment always fit the crime? “The Lady or the Tiger” by Frank Stockton and "A Jury of Her Peers" by Susan Glaspell explore crimes and whether they deserve the punishment that comes thereafter. Many cases take into consideration the motive for the crime. In Stockton’s story, a princess is found to have a secret lover, when the king finds out the lover is put on trial. The princess is the one who holds the knowledge of which door leads to death, and which to a life without her. Does death fit the crime of loving someone? In Glaspell’s story, Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters are able to uncover Minnie Wright's emotional and psychological state caused by her isolating and abusive marriage, revealing the motive for her actions. Does her motive outweigh her actions? Or should she have been punished for her crimes? In both “A Jury of Her Peers” and “The Lady and the Tiger,” Susan Glaspell and Frank Stocktonexplore how thin the line between legal and moral justice.
