The short one-act play Trifles by Susan Glaspell‚ was years ahead of its time. Its time was 1916 but the subject matter is timeless. The aspect of this play that most caught my interest was the contrast between the men and women characters. This is a play written in the early 1900s but transcends time periods and cultures. This play has many strengths and few weaknesses‚ but helps to provide a very accurate portrait of early American women and the issues they dealt with in everyday comings and

Trifles The play Trifles by Susan Glaspell is a well written story that I enjoyed every minute reading. Susan Glaspell’s play is about a woman that killed her husband. The protagonist of the paly Trifles killed her own husband because she was facing gender inequality with her husband and also because she was feeling lonely. First of all‚ the protagonist of this play killed her own husband because he was behaving as if he was her master. He was treating her as his housemaid and he was more likely

below. The waterfall was a clear sky leading up to a downpour. The giant spray from below was reaching up towards the sky in order to touch it. Never before have I seen anything as magnificent as this scene. The drop downward was drenching‚ dripping‚ and dousing to those daring enough to look at it. The onslaught of water was like a cascade of never-ending rain. Though‚ it can seem a bit overwhelming‚ the view is one of the most breathtaking ever seen. Every rock protruding out made the water

The ideal profile picture should be about 200 x 200 pixels or larger. If‚ by chance‚ you have a picture that is a little bit smaller we tend to see something that is a tad bit fuzzy. If it is not fuzzy‚ then it might come across as a teeny image that screams unprofessional. Think regarding needing to have a square headshot. Also‚ you do not want to have a headshot that is too far away or too close up: Just stick with a standard head shot when it comes to a profile picture. Think about it this

photographs share many similarities‚ but they are also different. I’m sure that Anne Geddes‚ the famous photographer of babies‚ may have a completely different view of her subjects than Leonardo da Vinci had of Mona Lisa. Still‚ both ways of producing pictures can have incredible results. Photographs and paintings are alike in many ways. First of all‚ both amateurs and professionals can make them. Professional photographers often create breathtaking images‚ and collectors will pay a high price to

Understanding the importance of ‘the big picture’ is the next step we as a society need to take in order to better understand the world. The idea of ‘the big picture’ alone is vague and misleading‚ however I use the term in a way to represent the idea of understanding all sides of an issue. In this case‚ human rights is the issue.

The characters in "Lust" are written in a way to highlight the dysfunction and disconnection of everyone involved. The narrator herself is nameless and faceless‚ making the reader believe that

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
