Provide quotes that would help in a character analysis of Minnie Foster in "A Jury of her Peers."

It is a much changed woman from Minnie Foster who sits in the jail as the story begins. Mrs. Wright has become a rather nondescript and withdrawn woman, while Minnie Foster was vivacious and sociable and pretty.

As Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters wait on their husbands who have gone upstairs in the Wright house to search from clues to the murder of Mr. Wright, they move about in the kitchen and straighten some things...

It is a much changed woman from Minnie Foster who sits in the jail as the story begins. Mrs. Wright has become a rather nondescript and withdrawn woman, while Minnie Foster was vivacious and sociable and pretty.

As Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters wait on their husbands who have gone upstairs in the Wright house to search from clues to the murder of Mr. Wright, they move about in the kitchen and straighten some things that are out of place. Earlier, Mrs. Hale has looked at the rocking chair in the kitchen in which Mrs. Wright was sitting when Mr. Hale visited the Wrights. She has thought this rocker "didn't look in the least like Minnie Foster...of twenty years before." Now, after Mrs. Peters has fetched a shabby black skirt that has been mended many times to be taken to Mrs. Wright, Mrs. Hale remarks that perhaps Mrs. Wright kept to herself because she had no nice things to wear. 

"She used to wear pretty clothes and be lively--when she was Minnie Foster, one of the town girls, singing in the choir."

Later, as the women talk more, Mrs. Hale tells Mrs. Peters,

"I wish you'd seen Minnie Foster...when she wore a white dress with blue ribbons and stood up there in the choir and sang."

This description is certainly in contrast to the taciturn and distracted woman rocking in the chair that Mr. Hale greeted the other day:

"I said "Ho' do, Mrs. Wright? It's cold, ain't it?' And she said, 'Is it?'--and went on pleatin' at her apron."

The Minnie Foster that Mrs. Wright was formerly is clearly a different woman from that who has suffered isolation and deprivation. Once a pretty and charming young woman who was active in her community, a woman who enjoyed the pleasure of being in a choir and singing before others, now Mrs. Wright is an isolated, lonely, plain woman who suffers from the lack of socialization and the enjoyment of music.
