Today's society and that of the early 1900s have completely different attitudes and beliefs about women. This ranges from their role in society to what they should do at home, as well as their place around men. In today's society, however, women can vote, hold high-paying jobs, and even own property! Some men might say that a woman's place is in the kitchen; but on the other hand, a select handful of men and all women will disagree. In “Trifles” by Susan Glaspell, the setting is primarily the main house, which contains the kitchen and living room. The kitchen is where cooking and cleaning is done, usually done by a woman, and the living room is where the family gathers and spends time together. In this story, the women stay inside the whole time and the men spend the whole play going over what had happened, in the barn, and trying to find a reason. Men felt as if women were too fragile to handle debates and controversies. This is ironic since Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters are left alone in the main house, which is the women's "place", but yet this is where the women and the reader discover most of the information about Mrs. Minnie Wright's life . and slowly begin to solve the mystery. The reader soon discovers how happy and cheerful Mrs. Wright was before she got married. She was a lovely girl who loved to sing in the church choir, like the canary she had bought and loved, she also wore bright clothes and was absolutely good-natured. On the contrary, her house is very dark and gloomy now and she is gloomy, lonely and depressed. His house was left in disarray and without things being tidied up such as dirty pans, a loaf of bread out of the breadbox, a... middle of paper... a hat from Mr. Wright killed the canary by twisting its neck . He had probably infuriated that cruel man with his singing, just as his wife enjoyed singing before she married him. The person reading “Trifles” must assume several things in this story and form his own opinion. One thing that must be assumed is that Mr. Wright killed the canary and then she twisted its neck the same way he twisted his canary's neck. If the women had revealed that they had come across the canary, it would have provided the men with further evidence that Mrs. Wright killed her husband. Without this evidence, the men may simply assume that the cat ate him and be unable to evict or send Mrs. Wright to court for the murder of her husband. They trust what women say about the cat that maybe will get the canary because, after all, what do women know?
