About This Document
'Trifles' is a 1916 play written by Susan Glaspell that revolves around a murder mystery and an initial investigation by the country attorney, the town sheriff, and two witnesses along with their wives visiting the house of the murdered, Mr. Wright. This play can be analyzed from a feminist angle that aims at rediscovering the actual role of women in the society. The play challenges a set of stereotypical notions set by the society that lead women to be the strangled ‘caged singing birds’, mainly by men, by entering deeper into the arena of the women’s territory, the kitchen.
