Trifles by Susan Glaspell

I thought that Susan Glaspell's Trifles was an interesting play. It deals with the murder of a man named John Wright, and how his wife becomes a prime suspect. I thought it was good that it dealt with some important issues like feminism, in that the female characters are able to relate with John Wright's wife and her motives for killing her husband, while the men don't see the case in the same way. Another interesting aspect is that Minnie, John Wright's wife, is never seen during the play. We only see her friends as well as the Court Attorney and Sheriff. Overall, I thought it was a well written and very nice short play.
