Trifles

Trifles Worrying over Trifles In Susan Glaspell’s Trifles, she without a doubt challenges the morals, beliefs, and values of her audience. The play begins in an old Midwestern farmhouse. George Henderson, Henry Peters, Lewis Hale, Mrs. Peters, and Mrs. Hale enter the Wright residence to try to unravel a murder mystery. As the play unfolds, readers learn more of how isolated and unhappy Mr. And Mrs. Wright was. Although these two characters have no lines and are never seen on stage, the audience carefully learns who the assassin is through careful observations by Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale. The others, George Henderson, Henry Peters, and Lewis Hale, seem to overlook significant details that may lead them to solving the murder. In spite of the terrible tragedy, one must come to a decision whether the murder is a sin or a blessing. In Trifles, the men and women demonstrate their many differences through their thought process and the women’s sympathy for the accused. The men portrayed in the play show few differences in their views and opinions. George Henderson plays the county attorney.
