Trifles Reaction

Plays are a very interesting type of literature. One very interesting, yet eerie play is "Trifles" by Susan Glaspell. In this play there is a murder in a farm house in Iowa. The main character, Mrs. Wright, very awkwardly and unconcerned tells the sheriff her husband is dead upstairs, when he asks, as she laughs. It is very odd that her husband dies from a rope around his neck, sleeping right next to her, and she doesn't even wake up. From the way she is acting in the reading and the video, it is clear she is the one that murdered him.

The woman in the play find a box with a bird in it while they are looking for something else in Mrs. Wright's kitchen. The bird has a broken neck and it seems like a metaphor to her husband having a broken neck. The bird scene in the play was slightly disturbing as well as sad. The play, "Trifles" by Glaspell was a very intriguing and slightly disturbing play.
