Women
Differences
Mrs. Hale was a neat person and liked everything to be in order all the time. Mrs. Peters seems to be nice but shy and weak. She seems to also be quiet but shows compassion. Mrs. Mallard apparently had heart disease and is overcome with joy that kills when she hears of her husbands supposed passing. Minnie is very unhappy and worn out with her life. Tired of the same ole routine.
Similarities
Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters believe that Minnie is the one who killed her husband and they think they know why. They seem to have healthy relationships with their husbands. Where Minnie and Mrs. Mallard seem very unhappy and eager to get out of their relationships.
Men
Differences
The men in "A Jury of Her Peers" want to blame Minnie for the death and are doing everything within their power to do so. Besides Mrs. Mallard's husband, his friend Richard is the only man and he is concerned with Mrs. Mallard's safety after hearing the news of her husbands passing.
Similarities
Honestly, the husbands are not discussed much in either story except for the passing of Minnie's husband and the supposed passing of Mr. Mallard. Seems to be in both stories that the wives are relieved of their husbands passing but unfortunately Mrs. Mallard can't handle to joy as it kills her!
