Stereotypes and Stereotyping in Susan Glaspells Trifles :: Trifles Essays

Stereotypes in Trifles   I same(p) this play quite a lot. Its got murder, mystery and deceit. Its elicit that the play bases a lot on stereotypes. The men are the sheriff, police lieutenant 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 bedchamber and outside in the barn for clues and the women are sent in, I figure initially, to gather some things for Mrs. Wright. The women are mocked at by the men. Worrying virtually things like jelly freezing and sewing. Mrs. hearty Oh, her fruit it did freeze. She worried close to that when it turned so cold. She said the fired go out and her jars would break compress Well, women are used to worrying over trifles. They are not taken seriously. They are women and are not intelligent enough to understand the invention of solving a murder. The men forgot, its the little things that bother people the about and for Mrs. Wright, it must have been death o f her canary. I think the canary symbolized Mrs. Wright. Mrs. Hale describes her She -- come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself - actual sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and - fluttery. How - she - did - change and like a bird, Mrs. Wright even sang in a choir. But after she got married, any thing stopped. She didnt sing anymore or attend social functions. equal a bird, her house became her cage. The save happiness that she appears to have is with this bird. The bird credibly 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 come close 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 killed t hat, too. When Mrs. Wright was used to its singing and her world became alleviate again, it was too much for her take.
