Another thought is how we see both the worlds of the townspeople and the trogs treat their women.
-The mayor's wife was really the one in power as we see her doing most of the talking and how the sheriff directly speaks to her even though she sternly tells him to talk to the mayor.
-Arthur and the sheriff both have wives they love and adore, and Chicory is a widower who still regularly visits his wife's grave and leaves flowers. He obviously still loves her.
-Arthur sets out against all odds with a bum leg to save his wife's life even if it may cost him his.
-Mrs. O'Dwyer is given an important role in the community as the town's doctor.
-In the sheriff's dying moments, he thinks of his wife and pays respects to his friend's late wife.
-Even though Brooder doesn't fancy the idea of marriage, he was tramautized by the loss of his mother and sisters at the hands of natives, which gave him a lifelong goal to kill as many as he could.
-Even when the sheriff and Chicory are captured and tell Mrs. O'Dwyer that her husband's on the way, she scolds them for bringing him along and calls them stupid. They both hang their heads like dogs, and don't say a word.
Now could you imagine a trog woman talking back like that to one of the trog men? Hell no. In fact, she probably couldn't speak because her tongue has already been cut out along with the other mutilation she's been put through. The trog women are just incubators. Nobody's bringing flowers to their graves, or writing poems for them. Pretty sad.
