    In 1916, a woman’s place was in the kitchen. That is the setting for Susan Glaspell’s play Trifles. The set is described as gloomy with faded wallpaper. Glaspell is painting a picture of the life of the absent Minnie Wright. Throughout the play, the reader discovers, along with the female characters, that Minnie lived a lonely life of neglect and abuse. As this was written before the passing of the nineteenth amendment, women had little to no rights. According to Isabel Marcus, “Prior to the divorce-law reforms of the second half of the twentieth century, women seeking divorce from an abusive husband were required to demonstrate ongoing serious abuse before a court would grant a divorce on the grounds of cruelty.” Women were essentially considered…

    Susan Glaspell's Trifles

    Hale and Peters cover-up. Holstein asserts that the two women were not just mindlessly helping a fellow woman, but instead were reliving her [Mrs. Wright] sad and seemingly abusive life (Holstein). Holstein brings the reader’s attention to the mundane details that in the dialogue between the women such as describing Mr. Wright as a “raw wind” (Glaspell 1723). The two wives more than just empathize with Mrs. Wright, they “identify with her.” Holstein brings the reader’s attention to the fact the both women defend the messy farmhouse against the two investigators showing they understood what Minnie was going through than previously shown (Holstein). Holstein’s critical essay has presented a different view compared to my view of Trifles and gives many more examples that I have time to…

    One such example is when the attorney general Henderson tells Mrs. Peters that because she is married to the sheriff, she is married to the law and therefore is a reliable follower of the law. Mrs. Peters' response "Not--just that way," is very interesting in that it suggests that over the course of the play, she has found a different aspect of her identity, perhaps and an empowered woman and not just a housewife. Another interesting quote from Glaspell’s play is when Mrs. Hale states that women "all go through the same things--it's all just a different kind of the same thing." While Minnie Wright’s dealt with her particular situation differently than either Mrs. Peters or Mrs. Hale, they all seem to reject male dominancy to some degree. This concept of female identity and solidarity has a huge impact on the outcome of the play, as Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters decide, despite breaking the law, to conceal the evidence they uncovered that could be used to convict Mrs. Wright for the murder of her…

    This was a time period when women didn’t vote and really didn’t have an opinion to men. When the men left the kitchen they commented that, “But would the women know a clue if they did come upon it!” (Glaspell, 541) The women payed attention to the details of the kitchen and could tell that she had stopped in the middle of something. Mrs. Hale talked about how Minnie Foster used to be so cheerful and sang in the choir. Mrs. Hale thought to herself, “What had interrupted Minnie Foster?” (Glaspell, 542) She remembered worrying about how she had to un-expectantly leaving her kitchen a mess. The ladies found the bird cage and noticed that it had been damaged and wondered where the bird was. Later they found the bird in the box underneath the quilt blocks. They are the ones that put two and two together about how the bird was killed and the way Minnie’s husband was…

    Hale and Mrs. Peters become the two main characters during their investigation, Mrs. Hale recalls the good times of Mrs. Wright’s life. There was once a time when she was known as Minnie Foster. Minnie “used to wear pretty clothes and be lively-singing in the choir (778).” Before marriage, Minnie was an upbeat girl who took part in her community, but now, she does not even take part of the Ladies Aid. Unfortunately, once she committed to a marriage with Mr. Wright, Minnie changed her way of being, and it was not a good change for her persona. Her house was disheveled with unwashed things and she was not properly kept herself which shows to prove that she is not the lively girl she once was. She became a more reserved woman and seemed to not care about anything, though she was trying her best to survive by keeping busying with her…

    If these customs were challenged everything seemed to fall apart. Prior to David and Jennifer arriving, Betty Parker was a picture perfect house wife. When things in Pleasantville began to change Betty refused to cave in to the changing society and stuck with her, and her husbands, beliefs. However, not everything remained pleasant. Betty knew that it was terrible to go against the Pleasantville customs, but something inside her was telling her to change. Firstly, Betty was introduced to many new concepts from Jennifer such as sleeping in one bed, intercourse, and how to please herself. As Betty put her newly learnt knowledge to the test she began to see colour and a tree instantaneously burst into flames. The fire symbolized that this was just the start of something big and that there was much change, along with conflicts, to come. Spectators observed the fire in awe and no one really knew what was going on. This was the first time that something imperfect had happened in the town. Secondly, Betty forgot to cook dinner for her husband one night. “Where’s my dinner?”, was a phrase that caused panic in the community. Betty’s husband looked everywhere for his wife, but Betty was no where to be seen. The imagine of the perfect wife was shattered in Mr. Parker’s eyes when his wife left the house the next day…

    They lived in the farmhouse for a long time, except eventually they were unable to live there because of horrid conditions. They moved to Syringa Street which was in a fancy neighbourhood; “Coming to our obscure part of the state a year before, they had moved into a rotting old farmhouse two miles north of town, long abandoned” (1) The people whom lived in the neighbourhood found the Duvitch family peculiar because they kept to themselves, they did not attempt at all to fit in or develop friendships. The Duvitch family’s beloved mother failed to ever show her face. ‘The women started in on Mrs. Duvitch because she “never showed her face.”’ (3) This resulted in rude commentary and rumours. They were the first immigrants to move into that neighbourhood, which caused some difficulty with the people. The family was treated with disrespect and judged simply because of their nationality and way of living. “But the Duvitches were marked people. They were the one struggling family in a prosperous community—and poverty, amid prosperity, is often embarrassing and irritating to the prosperous. They were considered unattractive physically. They were so meek! The Duvitches never fought back.” (3) In this timeframe in America such things were exceedingly common. The Duvitch’s freedom filled journey had improved, except it was not yet complete. They were able to…

    First we are introduced to a woman, Mrs. Hale, who at the beginning comes off as a main character. The details and patterns of her thoughts and her life misleads us, for an example, in paragraph 1, here we are shown the concept of Mrs. Hale’s instinct for tidiness, “her bread all ready for mixing, half the flour sifted and half un-sifted.” This plays as a minor detail, but it later becomes a key point as the plot changes, Mrs. Hale is shown to be a person of neatness and detail; meaning no work is to be left undone, and devotion to keeping a proper household. She comes off as a strong woman, a woman of principle.…

    Martha works for advertising company, but her main job is to be a housewife. She is not satisfied in the marriage. Everything seem to be her duty - washing up, washing clothes, making beds, cleaning bathroom, vacuuming, sweeping, cleaning windows, cooking, ironing, gardening, dusting, laying the table, preparing vegetables, painting the wall, taking out the rubbish, shopping for food and of course taking care of kids. "Then clear up the supper: set the dough to prove for the bread: Martin already in bed: exhausted by the drive and lighting the fire." (1, pg. 3) Her husband Martin is not helping her at all. He only drives and lights the fire in the cottage. Martin is self-centered, confident, and lazy guy. "Martha, we really ought to get the logs stacked properly. Get the children to do it, will you?" (1, pg. 3) He is also thoughtless, arrogant and very demanding. "Honey, make one of your mushroom omelettes: cook the mushrooms separately, remember, with lemon. Otherwise the water from the mushrooms gets into the egg, and spoils everything." (1, pg. 4) To others he seems to be witty, and friendly. "Martin standing between her and hostility of the world; popular, easy, funny Martin, beckoning the rest of the world into earshot." (1, pg. 2)Martin doesn 't fully approve of Martha going back to work. "Mrs. Hodder came in twice a week to clean. She was over seventy. She charged two pounds an hour. Martha paid her out of her own wages: well, the running of the house was Martha 's concern. If Martha chose to go out to work - as was her perfect…
