Trifles is a fascinating murder mystery drama in which John Wright is strangled to death inside his home. His wife, Mrs. Wright, is the suspect, but Mr. Hale and the County Attorney overlook important clues because of their disregard for “woman stuff.” Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters take more of a notice of these things and find Mrs. Wright’s pet canary dead. They are able to figure out that it was what caused Mrs. Wright to snap and kill her husband. The women decide to hide the bird, the only evidence to solving the crime, to protect her.
There are many themes in this play, but women and femininity is the major one. In a world ruled by men, women feel trapped, underappreciated, and abused. The audience is left to root for the women who help Mrs. Wright get away with murder because of the way the men of the time are shown to treat women. In a world where the rules are created by men, a woman getting away with one of the most harshly punishable crimes is a good twist of irony. This theme is seen again throughout Mrs. Peters’ trip from a housewife to a lawbreaker as well as Mrs. Hale’s speaking out against men’s sexist remarks.
