Trifles

Trifles, by Susan Glaspell is a murder mystery that often leaves the reader guessing until the end. Given the time period the play was written, the female characters are depicted as less intelligent than the male characters. Throughout the play the male characters often make the female characters look as if they don't know what they are talking about. Glaspell sets up an interesting story line and makes the reader feel as if he or she is apart of the play.
