Trifles

Trifles is a play where the setting plays a major role. The way the kitchen is messy and chores half done the characters realize that something was not right. There also is a lot of symbolism in this play. The canarie and the cage symbolized Mrs. Wright and how she felt being with John Wright. The patch of quilt that was badly done might show the point of break down for Mrs. Wright.
The pretty box in which she kept the bird shows that she cherrished it. I do think that she killed her husband because he might have been the one that broke open the cage and snapped the bird's neck and Mrs. Wright did the same to him. The women understood what she might have felt and what she might have went through so they decided to hide these details from the men.
