Write an essay explaining the irony of the title “Trifles” as it relates to the play.
Trifles was written during a time when women were considered their husband’s property. Explain the irony of the title Trifles. What events cause the women to unite and ultimately hide the evidence they found from the men? What message do you think Glaspell delivered to her female readers? Add a separate paragraph at the end of your paper explaining how you think Mr. Wright was murdered.
Use quotations and examples from the novel to clarify and support your argument.
