A Critical Review of Trifles
A Critical Review of Trifles by the girl of rain
Introduction
Susan Glaspell is a playwright and novelist who was affected in her works by her background and her era. During her job as a journalist for the daily news she reported a murder of a farmer whose wife was accused of killing him, so it influenced her to write Ajury of Her Peer (1917), a short-story, and the one-act-play Trifles (1916). Susan was strongly feminist, so in her play Trifle, she defends her gender and shows the women struggle at her time. She highlights the themes of gender position and gender perspective and shows how men diminish women. Also, she portrays how women think more efficiently than men throughout the play, and she makes the reader sympathy with her characters . The play starts with the entrance of the sheriff Peters, the county attorney , Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale into Mrs. Wright's kitchen who is arrested for the murder of her husband. When the men go upstairs to find evidences that they don't think they will get in the kitchen, because in their perspective it is silly area since it belongs to women, Susan is creating a space for the women during their dialogue to show their intelligence and their analysis that is based on questions. Through their talking they find a dead bird which is one of the most important details that they build their conclusions on. The women hide this because they don't want the men find it as a motive for Mrs. Wright to kill her husband, and the play ends after the women mislead the men. The bird in the play is highly symbolic for Mrs. and Mr. Wright which I think Susan has succeeded in using it.
