    Susan Glaspell's Trifles

    • 687 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Susan Glaspell’s work in “Trifles” displays many attributes among women such as independence and freedom. I quickly noticed that Glaspell’s work is very similar to Kate Chopin’s because both of them express equality between men and women. In “Trifles” one can see how a woman’s role in the early nineteenth century meant absolutely nothing. Men like Mr. Wright‚ Mr. Hale and the Sheriff acted and talked as if they were superior to all women. Through Glaspell’s “Trifles‚” one is able to grasp the realities

    Susan Glaspell’s play Trifles is probably often misinterpreted by many viewers. One person made the following comment‚ "Trifles is a lousy mystery. All the action took place before the curtain went up. Almost in the beginning‚ on the third page‚ we find out ‘who done it.’ So there isn’t really much reason to sit through the rest of the play." Trifles does center around a murder investigation‚ but the mystery is not about "who done it‚" but why it was done. Women’s lowly social status at the time

    When comparing the descriptive technique of Susan Sontag’s On Photography book between ALL MY LIFE FOR SALE by John D. Freyer and eBay‚ we will find that Mr. Freyer demonstrated a merely subjective description that was mentored solely by his own point of view. The assumption that “every photographer should read this book” in the beginning of his description‚ and asserting this assumption later by using an overstated sentence like: “Even the mom and pop photographers”‚ and further emphasizing by generalizing
