This exposition gives the background of the story so that the reader now who and how the characters will develop in the story. There will absolutely be Mr.
Henderson, Mr. Peters, Mr, Hale, Mrs. Hale, and Mrs. Peters playing some roles in the play. They will be discussing about motive disclosure of the murder og
John Wright, Minnie Foster’s husband.
2. Raising Action
The raising action begins when the women finds a bird cage inside the cupboard. Mrs. Peters is looking at the cupboard to look for a piece of paper and
string. There she finds a bird cage. Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale are examining the bird cage and then starting to question where the bird is. Mrs. Hale thinks that the
cat got it but Mrs. Peters says that Mrs. Wright did not like cats because when she came to the house previous day Mrs. Wright really upset for Mrs. Peter’s cat
entering her room. Then, their suspicion raise when they find the cage door broke. MRS. PETERS: examining the cage Why, look at this door. It’s broke.
One hinge is pulled apart. MRS. HALE: looking too Looks as if someone have been rough with it.
MRS. PETERS: Why, yes. lines: 268-271
From those conversations we can conclude that both Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale agree that someone has been rough with the door. That makes the curiosity
grows higher. The women start to feel something wrong but they try to ignore it by wishing the investigation to be ended soon.
Another reason of why the bird cage is empty is that the bird got sick and died. They finally agree that Minnie Foster used to have bird. The consideration is
that Minnie Foster was like bird herself. She used to sing in a church. She wore pretty dress, but kind of timid and fluttery. Mrs. Hale realizes the change of Mrs.
Wright after the marriage. Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters here can see the life of Minnie Foster though the bird cage as a symbol.
3. Climax
The climax of this play occurs when the women are finding the real answer of where the bird had flown. The women think about what makes Minnie
foster feel better because they know that Minnie Foster had been through a hard life. They then consider taking the quilt with them and bringing it to Minnie
Foster so that she will have something good to do. While searching the sewing thing Mrs. Hale finds a red box. She firstly guesses that there is scissors in it. The
thing inside it is shocking. They find a dead canary inside the pretty box. The dead canary with the scars around the neck is found in the box. It seems like
somebody had wrung the bird’s neck. MRS. HALE: jumping up But, Mrs. Peter-look at it It’s all-other side to.
MRS. PETERS: Somebody-wrung-its-neck. [their eyes meet. A look of growing comprehension of horror. Steps
are heard outside. MRS HALE slips box under quilt piece, and sinks into her chair. Enter SHERIFF and COUNTY ATTORNET.
