“Trifles” is a thematically complex work‚ focusing on topics of feminine identity‚ justice and isolation. The marginalization of women in a patriarchal society‚ the differing attitudes and viewpoints of the men and the women regarding the underlying theme of justice and revenge‚ and the despair and loneliness in Mrs. Wright’s life exposes a broader interpretation of rural American life in the early 1900’s.
