Susan Glaspell/Trifles

Abstract: An 8 page research paper/essay that analyzes Susan Glasgpell's major thesis in her 1916 play "Trifles," which tells how two women discern the motive and circumstances between a murder and hide evidence that would have implicated the man's wife because they can see that the woman was abused. The writer argues that Glaspell's main point is that the women constitute a jury of "peers" and have the background to judge the woman's conduct accurately while the men in the play do not. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
