Trifles

"Trifles" was better as a play rather than a short story. I was able to put myself right into the conversation and see exactly what was going on. The two men were upstairs investigating while the women were downstairs looking over the house. The reason the women were able to draw better conclusions about what happened is because they could identify with Mrs. Wright. They knew of a woman's trifles and how being the perfect wife and not getting much in return could make you angry. You could get the feel of how life for women was in those times. The women could sympathize with Mrs. Wright so much that they actually protected their fellow woman by not revealing hard evidence to find her guilty. The play was very effective in portraying the bond that woman had to have in those times when faced by oppression.
