I shall miss Lucy and Edmund very much as I did and still do with Susan and Peter. I wish they can stay. I wish they haven’t grown too old.

In today’s society‚ things are quite the contrary‚ women are going to college more than men and we even had a woman run for president. In Susan Glaspell’s short story “A Jury of Her Peers‚” she illustrates the constant struggle for women in the nineteenth century and how women as a whole were underrepresented. Glaspell wants the reader to see how confined some women in the nineteenth century

Susan Glaspell’s short story “A Jury of Her Peers” is more effective than her play Trifles at depicting the marginalization of women. Given only the text of the stories‚ and not taking into consideration the acting in the play‚ “Jury” far surpasses Trifles in conveying how women were basically disregarded as having any insight into “manly” matters such as a murder investigation. Trifles was written in 1916 and “Jury” was written in 1917. During this time period women were thought to be lower than

Trifles and “A Jury of Her Peers” are both pieces of literature written by Susan Glaspell. They detail they events which occurred in a house after a man died there.

While these two writings are similar in some ways‚ they are quite different in others. The two stories are very different in a number of ways

I really like how the author compares Mrs. Wright to the bird herself in the story because it leads the reader to understand the meaning of why Mrs. Wright may have “rung her husband’s neck” because he had done the same to her bird. Susan Glaspell states‚ “She‚ come to think of it‚ was kind of like a bird herself‚ real sweet and funny‚ but kind of timid and funny. How she…. did change.” (Glaspell 260) This statement shows how Mrs. Wright after years of abuse

Understanding everyday communications is an arduous responsibility‚ especially when intentions are not easy to read. The most popular forms of communication‚ such as cellphones and social media‚ disconnect the intimacy in the usual emotions conveyed in normal forms of communicating. In corelation‚ identity also is affected by the miscommunications of everyday interactions.

In Susan Glaspell’s “Trifles‚” elements such as setting‚ personality‚ and behavior are used to set the mood for this crime story. In this story‚ a woman is being accused of killing her husband‚ and what better than a play to act out such a thing. I feel that through the use of actions‚ costumes‚ and props‚ the visual elements in this play really help to bring out this murder mystery to life. In the beginning of the play‚ the scene starts out with the description of the house and its kitchen
