Analysis of Trifles

Wright had endured. Although Mrs. Wright felt shabby she still made every attempt to fulfill her role by expressing her concern for her preserves and asking that they bring her apron: which symbolized the commitment women have to people and things we love.
             Mr. Wright did not care about the things that were important to his wife or her opinion of anything. At the beginning of the play, Mr. Hale is explaining to the County Attorney his reason for going to the Wrights' home the day before. He wanted to talk to Mr. Wright about the party phone in the presence of Mrs. Wright. He comments that, "I didn't know as what is wife wanted made much of a difference to John. It is apparent that others know that Mr. Wright disregarded what his wife wanted or thought. Mr. Wright may have been the reason Mrs. Wright does not participate in anything outside of her household duties and felt as if all she had for happiness was her bird. This happens often in marriages as men think what is important to them is all that matters. During the investigation the men follow procedure and support each other on what they think is important. The women on the other hand observe the surroundings and notice the small things the men deem unimportant. The women notice the ruined fruit preserves, and comment on the uncleanliness of the kitchen which seem not to worry them until they find the quilt. At first the quilt was sewn with style, attention to detail with nice clean patterns but then it is obvious that Mrs. Wright experienced some type of change because the stitching became erratic. Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale concluded that she was nervous about something and hinted at the emotional instability Minnie may have gone through. The men were looking for something that would "show anger or sudden feeling. " If the Sherriff and county attorney had not dismissed the unclean kitchen, half wiped table and the quilt as trifles they might have been able to put the pieces together to connect the case.
