They also found a bird cage, that had a broken door, like it had been busted open with force, therefore showing whoever opened it was angry. The cage itself is symbolic in multiple ways. The cage held the bird in much the same way as Mrs. Wright’s domestic position held her (Ngezem, 7). So the cage was like a prison to the bird, along with Mrs.Wright’s house and miserable marriage is a prison to her, she feels trapped and when her husband forced the cage open, he also emotionally forced a part of Mrs.Wright open, that had never been there before. It seems to me that this is another run on sentence. In Trifles, Mrs Hale says “Looks as if someone must have been rough with it” (Glaspell 5). This is symbolic because she was no longer happy and no longer wanted to be there but could not leave, so it felt like a prison, which leads to her “breaking out” of that prison, by killing her husband, which is represented by the broken cage
