In Susan Glaspell’s play “Trifles” I found the most definitive moment to be when the women, Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters were in the kitchen while all of the men carried on upstairs to look for evidence on Mr. Wright’s murder. This play is about figuring out who committed this murder and why. First they must know who would have a motive and then they must find some actual physical evidence against that person. While the men are upstairs talking and searching for forensic evidence, the two women are downstairs finding evidence to show and tell what kind of person Mrs. Wright seemed to be, physically and emotionally. This part of the play is where so much speaks out and becomes obvious. When Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters are plundering in the kitchen it is such an important part because this is where we find out whom the Wrights are. How you live speaks about who you are in many different ways. We find Mrs. Wright to be a lovely woman who may have felt a bit caged like her bid, but caged in a relationship by her husband’s uncaring, uneven, and purely cold character. The kitchen is where this play begins, where the most important moments occur within the play, and where the play ends.
