    Susanna Kaysen Character Analysis

    This quote is about Susanna Kaysen finally reading a book about her given diagnosis. I do believe she was given an accurate diagnosis and that it was necessary for her to spend some time in the mental hospital because she did try to kill herself even though she never admitted it. I disliked the fact that Kaysen had to be in the hospital for almost two years for her to actually try to get better. Instead of arguing and being upset about being in the hospital she should have gotten over it and started putting an effort to get herself out of there. In my opinion I don’t think Kaysen was in dire need to go to a mental hospital. Kaysen did take fifty aspirins, but I don’t believe she was intending to kill herself. She only took the aspirins because…

    Samantha has difficulty finding peace with her less than ideal pregnancy during the story. She worries that the pregnancy is a mistake, that people will judge her for being a single parent, and that her mother and sister will be disappointed in her. Compared to her sister, Samantha has always been the organized and meticulous child, which is where her need for approval and assurance stems from. She is an organized person who prides herself on how long she can go without making a mistake, and in her mind, this baby boy is a mistake. Samantha’s sister Anne tries to explain to Sam that her baby is not something to be ashamed of and that “it’s not some black mark on your record. It’s a baby!” Her sister is referring to Samantha’s desire for perfection in life and explains how her baby is not like a bad grade on a report card nor a crime committed.

    Social and Psychological Differences in Trifles by Susan Glaspell

    In the play Trifles, by Susan Glaspell, the central theme of the play are the social and psychological differences between the men and the women. The male characters has a chauvinistic attitude towards women, while the women are more understanding and perceptive than the men in terms of trying to solve the crime. It is because of the men's attitudes that led them to fail in seeing the truth of Mr. Wright's murder. Their attitudes were blatantly apparent while they were assessing the crime scene at the Wright House. Rather than being objective investigators, their negative views towards women and their discriminatory nature of the opposite sex caused them to overlook the situation and automatically branded Mrs. Wright as the killer with no regard for her emotions or state of mind at the time of the murder. The men were more concerned with criticizing Mrs. Wright's lack of proper homemaking skills than trying to find the reason behind the murder of Mr. Wright. In line 157, while looking for evidence, the county attorney complains after washing his hands, "Dirty towels! Not much of a housekeeper, would you say, ladies?", while kicking the pans under the sink. His irritation showed his negative attitude because the house was not kept in proper standards by Mrs. Wright. His actions alluded to his beliefs that since women stayed home as house wives, while holding no proper jobs in the world, they should at least keep the house up to par. He defends his opinions to the ladies in line 163 saying that "I know that there are some Dickson County farmhouses that do not have such roller towels." When Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters quickly defended Mrs. Wright, his reaction was, "Ah, loyal to your sex , I see." His demeaning undertone revealed his lack of respect for women's societal roles and believes that women are inferior to men.…
