Trifles play
Choose two of the following prompts:
According to the play, what traditional or stereotypical roles are women or men expected to play?
Who has the power, women or men? What kind do they have and how do they use/demonstrate it?
What attitude does the play demonstrate toward those roles or power situation? What evidence in the play suggests this attitude?
Based on what you have read and learned in our discussions, do you think Mrs. Wright is a murderer?
Do you think Mrs. Wright was abused? Explain your answer with evidence from the play.
In 1916 when the play was written, do you think a jury of her peers would find Mrs. Wright guilty of murder? Do you think a jury of her peers would find Mrs. Wright guilty of murder today (21st century)?
What would a jury of her peers look like in 1916? What would a jury look like today?
