Susan Glaspells Trifles - The Loyalty of Mrs. Hale :: Trifles Essays

The Loyalty of Mrs. drag in in Trifles   The major idea I want to write about has to do with the way Mrs. Hale stands tail Mrs. Wright fifty-fifty though it seems the like everyone else especially (the custody) would rather lock her up and throw away the key. We see this right away when she gets on the County lawyer for putting down Mrs. Wrights house keeping. I find this to be wonderfully exemplary in that most women of this time usually allowed the men to say whatever they wanted about their sex, never standing up for themselves or each other You notice this to be so because Mrs. Peters is fight against what she is hearing the men say versus what she feels herself. When Mrs. Hale tells Mrs. Peters that she would hate for the men to be in her kitchen snooping around and criticizing, Mrs. Peters responds by saying Of course its no more than their duty. This reflects to me a lady who has been so brain washed by the manly view of her time that she cant even see the s imple feelings that women feel for and between each other. We then cum to the part where the ladies are talking about Mrs. Peters interactions with the other women in town. Mrs. Hale said she was not part of the Ladies Aid (which seemed like the thing for the women to do in that town), she dressed shabbily which she never did sooner becoming Mr. Wrights wife. Mrs. Hale also clearly states that she does not look at that Mrs. Wright killed her husband whereas Mrs. Peters is struggling with this, saying that the Attorney thinks it looks bad because she did not excite up when her husband was being killed in bed right beside her. Mrs. Hale takes the view I would by saying dont censure her because obviously he didnt wake up either or maybe he would be alive or at least(prenominal) maybe he could demand awakened her in his struggle. Another symbolic part of the play is when the men overhear the women talking about Mrs. Wrights quilt, wondering if she was going to quilt it or knot it, and they laugh at them. Mrs. Hale is immediately offended by the way they laughed at them where Mrs. Peters is apologizing for them because they have a lot on their minds.
