Years of Misery(In-class)

A. Summary
Abi is a small woman with gentle smile. She seems like the nice woman who lives next door. She married with man who was gentle. He was so kind. First two years in marriage was wonderful. After two years past, he came home late and drunk a lot. Finally, he pushed her and kicked her and hit her so often. He even chocked her. Once he push her to the window, she finally killed him with a kitchen knife. Now she is in a jail to wait a trial for murder. Abi didn't tell anybody about this violence. Even if she told this to police, they did nothing but got the money from her husband. After that, he hit her more badly and often.

B. Opinion.

I think she had to do something before killing him. I know her situation but nothing justifies murder. If I was in her situation, I would run away from him instead of murder or divorce with him. Is the murder only thing she can do in that situation? I don't think so. At any rate, she killed man. She should take a proper punishment.
