Trifles By Susan Glaspell Analysis
We all know the one-act play: ‘Trifles’ By Susan Glaspell. We all understand the main moving forces in that the story, and the main characters that cause the problems or come up with the solutions. We know that Mrs. Wright killed her husband because she had dealt with abuse and neglect for years, and was pushed past the point of breaking, we know she was being subjected to pretty much slavery, and we know the women empathize with her, see, we know everything. Or do we? I don’t reccomend you to use a question in your introduction. What if there were other moving forces in this story, that weren’t I suggest you to change your contractions. given the credit they deserve, or just brushed off as little details that were ignored by some teenager just reading the story to get a grade in their english class. What if there was another story? An untold story, a story told by symbols. In this paragraph you repeated the word “we”, you …show more content…
They also found a bird cage, that had a broken door, like it had been busted open with force, therefore showing whoever opened it was angry. The cage itself is symbolic in multiple ways. The cage held the bird in much the same way as Mrs. Wright’s domestic position held her (Ngezem, 7). So the cage was like a prison to the bird, along with Mrs.Wright’s house and miserable marriage is a prison to her, she feels trapped and when her husband forced the cage open, he also emotionally forced a part of Mrs.Wright open, that had never been there before. It seems to me that this is another run on sentence. In Trifles, Mrs Hale says “Looks as if someone must have been rough with it” (Glaspell 5). This is symbolic because she was no longer happy and no longer wanted to be there but could not leave, so it felt like a prison, which leads to her “breaking out” of that prison, by killing her husband, which is represented by the broken cage

    As I read through several reviews, I found it amusing how many people assumed the main focus of The Chaperone would be over Louise Brooks. It was pretty obvious to me, by the title and summary that it was going to be about “The Chaperone”. Due to this reason, I chose Mandy Boles’ review to be one of my three. The first things Mandy noticed, was that…

    The reference to a bird wandering around his or her partner, crushed by a truck on the road is sad and highlights aan unatural death. The body of the twenty-eight parrot is described as “crushed”. This is very significant as it denotes the idea that it did not die peacefully and gracefully as a bird should die at the end of it’s natural cycle- but killed, presumabley, by the truck. This is symbolic of the effect that humanity’s intrusion has on the environment and the natural word. It disrupts the natural cycle, the way things should be. The bird is described to have died “so early in the morning, in the cold the fog not yet lifted” which further establishes the idea of a premature death- one that should not have happened. The death of a parrot and the apparent grief of its partner are almost inconsquential and represent the lack of care we have for what we are doing to the natural world. This constrasts with the truck driver, “hyping up the flesh” with a coffee to charge down the road, completely unaware of a crushed twenty-eight but to likley meet the same fate.…

    The author uses imagery to illustrate and give the reader a clear understanding of his thoughts about injustice. Dunbar uses imagery by stating, “ Till it’s blood is red on the cruel bars” (line 9). This shows the bird’s relentless efforts to escape. The author includes this to relate the bird’s struggles and hardships to his own dealing with injustice. Another way Dunbar uses imagery to relate to injustice is by stating, “ When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore, When he beats his bars and he would be free; It is not a carol of joy or glee, But a prayer he sends from his heart’s deep core”( lines 16-19). Here the author uses imagery to show the reader that even when the bird is in pain he still fights for freedom and justice. The author uses this piece of imagery to relate himself to the bird in the sense of that like the bird, the author fights for his freedom, but along the way is…

    When the women are looking around downstairs they come across a bird cage in the cupboard. Mrs Hale observes the door is broken off and someone must have been "rough with it," suggesting the motive for the crime. When Mrs. Hale looks inside Mrs. Wrights sewing box hoping to find scissors she finds a box and inside is the dead bird wrapped in silk. The birds neck looked as if it had been strangled. The women recall that when Minne Foster was younger she was lively, wore pretty clothes and sung in the choir, they said "I heard she used to wear pretty clothes and be lively, when she was Minnie Foster, one of the town girls singing in the choir." The bird represented Minnie before she was married to Mr. Wright. Mrs. Hale says, "She-come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself-real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and-fluttery. How- she- did- change." Minne and the bird were both caged, the bird was in stuck in an actual cage and Minne was stuck in the house all the time. Mr. Wright changed Mrs. Wright, he took all those good things away, he was controlling he didn’t allow her to see her friends or leave the house, he even stopped her from singing.

    Griffin argues that everyone in society is a part of a larger matrix; that if we had been born to a different family, in a different time period, or to a different world, we would not be the same people we are today. Throughout her essay, Griffin ties together four seemingly separate people through their fears and secrets. Secrets are very powerful, in that just one secret can impact the lives of many, even if the person keeping the secret has no intentions of hurting anybody or changing the lives of others. While on the other hand, some people keep secrets to protect themselves and do not mind the pain it causes others. No matter how big the secret is, all secrets have penalties and consequences.…

    Symbolism is a literary device that is used much in this poem. One example of symbolism is the woman being sick and her husband does no treat her with respect symbolizes women’s rights. The woman describes her husband “If a physician of high standing, and ones husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one, but temporary nervous depression-a slight hysterical tendency- what is one to do”? (Gilman 1). John is not treating her like a woman is supposed to be treated. He does not want to tell her friends and relatives that she is sick. She tells him that she is sick, but he does not do anything but make it worse because he does not believe that she is sick. Another symbol in the poem is that her husband treats her like a little child. The speaker describes her room as “It was nursery first and then playroom and gymnasium and windows are barred for little children (3). The woman is being treated like a little child by her husband. He treats her like a little child because she lets him control and tell her what to do. John calls her “Little Girl” instead of by her name. The barred windows symbolize her being trapped. So, the room she stays in is for children. The wallpaper symbolizes her being trapped, and the windows symbolize her trying to get away.…

    Through the use of vivid descriptions of the bird’s struggle and a painful tone, Dunbar brings forth the brutality of slavery and calls for his readers to sympathize for the slaves. Stanza two transitions from stanza one in a very gloomy way. The same bird now “beats his wing/Till its blood is red on the cruel bars.” A sense of urgency and panic can be felt as the bird now realizes it is weak in its cage. The bird mutilates itself in its attempt to break free, but his attempt fails. Through this violent image, Dunbar reveals the true nature of slavery and what it does to slaves. Just like the bird, the slaves were kept constantly trying to break free and fight for what they were being deprived from. However, “a pain still throbs in the old, old scars,” and slaves are left to suffer through an intense pain that is a result of their resistance. Dunbar communicates a…

    The bird represent the joyful life Mrs. Wright wants and use to have, and for Mr. Wright it represents his cruelty and abuse. The bird sings and provides warmth and joy for Mrs. Wright. The bird is a sign of cheerfulness in a bleary home. Mrs Hale states, "He didn't drink, and kept his word as well as most, I guess, and paid his debts. But he was a hard man, Mrs. Peters. Just to pass the time of day with him--." She stopped, shivered a little. "Like a raw wind that gets to the bone." Mr. Wright strangles the bird, once again neglecting his wife, trapping his wife in a bleary place, and being cruel and abusive.…
