-Analysis 2
-Minnie Foster Wright represents the marginalized groups that being oppressed in the men dominated society. She lives in a "lonesome-looking place" and her house is "down in a hollow and the poplar trees around it was lonesome-looking trees." That demonstrates the emptiness and isolation of Minnie Foster. Since the place is "down in a hollow", Minnie cannot establish any connections with her friends. Furthermore, the marriage has changed her personality. Before the marriage, Minnie Foster is a cheerful person, as the article mentioned that "she used to wear pretty clothes and  be lively--when she was Minnie Foster, one of the town girls, singing in the choir." But after she is married to Mr. Wright, she becomes depressed and indifferent. She doesn't wear any pretty clothes or sing as she used to. She is trapped in an abusive relationship.
