The Trifles of Susan Glaspell - Mrs. Hale's Loyalty seems like everyone else, especially (men) would rather lock it up and throw away the key. We see this right away when she lashes out at the county attorney for criticizing Mrs. Wright's household. I find this wonderfully symbolic in that most women of that era generally allowed men to say whatever they wanted about their gender, without ever defending themselves or defending themselves. You notice that this is because Mrs. Peters is struggling with what she is. hearing men say in relation to what she herself feels. When Mrs. Hale tells Mrs. Peters that she would hate for men to be in her kitchen snooping and criticizing, Mrs. Peters responds by saying "Of course, it's nothing more than their duty." It makes me think of a lady who has been so washed by the manly outlook of her time that she can't even see the simple feelings women have for each other. Then we come to the part where the ladies talk. Mrs. Peter's interactions with the other women in town. Mrs. Hale said she didn't belong to Ladies' Aid (which seemed to be the thing for women in that town to do), that she dressed poorly, which she had never done before to become the wife of Mr. Wright. Mrs. Hale also clearly states that she does not believe that Mrs. Wright killed her husband while Mrs. Peters struggles with this, saying that the lawyer thinks it looks bad because she did not woken up when her husband was killed in her bed. next to her. Ms. Hale agrees with me by saying don't blame her because obviously he didn't wake up either or maybe he would be alive or at least maybe he could have awakened her in her struggle. Another symbolic part of the play is when the men overhear the women talking about Mrs. Wright's quilt, wondering if she was going to make it or tie it, and they laugh at them. Mrs. Hale is immediately offended by the way they made fun of them as Mrs. Peters apologizes for them because "they have a lot on their minds".".
