Stereotypes and Stereotyping in Susan Glaspells Trifles :: Trifles Essays

Stereotypes in Trifles   I resembling this play quite a lot. Its got shoot, enigma and deceit. Its interesting that the play bases a lot on stereotypes. The men ar the sheriff, deputy and the attorney sent out to discover the details of the murder of a man found hanged in his bed. They look carefully in the bedroom and outside in the barn for clues and the women are sent in, I think initially, to gather some things for Mrs. Wright. The women are mocked at by the men. disturbing about things like jelly freezing and sewing. Mrs. Hale Oh, her fruit it did freeze. She demented about that when it turned so cold. She said the fired go out and her jars would get away Hale Well, women are used to worrying over trifles. They are non taken seriously. They are women and are not intelligent enough to examine the concept of solving a murder. The men forgot, its the little things that bother multitude the most and for Mrs. Wright, it must come been death of her canary-yellow. I think the canary symbolized Mrs. Wright. Mrs. Hale describes her She -- come to think of it, she was kind of like a gentlewoman herself - real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and - fluttery. How - she - did - change and like a snigger, Mrs. Wright even sang in a choir. But after she got hook up with, every thing stopped. She didnt sing anymore or attend kind functions. Like a tinkers damn, her house became her cage. The just now happiness that she appears to have is with this bird. The bird probably sang when she could not. He was probably a companion to her, she had no children. And like her, he was also caged. Because we do not know, we can only guess that her husband killed her bird. If he killed the bird then he would have killed the only thing that was important to her. He killed her once when he married her and caged her in that house, and he killed her again when he destroyed her bird. No,. Wright wouldnt like the bird - a thing that sang. She used to sing. He k illed that, too. When Mrs. Wright was used to its singing and her arena became quiet again, it was too much for her take.
