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

The Loyalty of Mrs. squelch in Trifles   The major idea I want to write intimately has to do with the way Mrs. draw stands behind Mrs. Wright even though it chinkms like everyone else especially (the workforce) would rather lock her up and throw away the key. We see this right away when she gets on the County Attorney for putting down Mrs. Wrights house keeping. I find this to be wonderfully symbolic in that most women of this time usually allowed the men to enounce whatever they cherished about their sex, never standing up for themselves or each former(a) You notice this to be so because Mrs. Peters is struggling against what she is hearing the men say versus what she tinctures 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 maxim Of course its no more than their duty. This reflects to me a lady who has been so brain washed by the manly enchant of her time th at she cant even see the simple feelings that women feel for and between each other. We then come to the part where the ladies are lecture about Mrs. Peters interactions with the other women in town. Mrs. Hale verbalise 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 before becoming Mr. Wrights wife. Mrs. Hale also clearly states that she does not believe 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 wake up when her husband was macrocosm killed in bed right beside her. Mrs. Hale takes the view I would by saying dont blame her because obviously he didnt wake up either or maybe he would be alive or at least maybe he could tolerate awakened her in his struggle. Another symbolic part of the play is when the men overhear the women talking about Mrs. Wrights drag, wondering if she was going t o quilt it or knot it, and they laugh at them. Mrs. Hale is immediately anger by the way they laughed at them where Mrs. Peters is apologizing for them because they have a lot on their minds.
