MRS. HALE: I might have known she needed help! I know how things can be—for women. I tell you, it's queer, Mrs. Peters. We live close together and we live far apart. We all go through the same things—it's all just a different kind of the same thing. (138)
Boom. Mrs. Peters puts the theme of isolation on steroids. Now, it's not just about Mrs. Wright's isolation; it's about the isolation of all women. By showing us Mrs. Hale's guilt over not reaching out to Mrs. Wright, it seems like the play is making a plea for all women to reach out to other and somehow break the isolation that traps them all. What do you think? Is this possible? How can women uniting help to ease their isolation?
