In reading the play “Trifles” the reader learns that two of the main characters, Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters, suppress evidence that will help the county attorney establish the motive behind the murder of John Wright.

Mrs. Hale also seemed to be somewhat of a perfectionist when it came to sewing. “Bad sewing always made me fidgety” she said. It is because of this obsession for straight seams that she began rooting through Minnie’s sewing basket, and finding the dead bird wrapped in a piece of silk.
