"Trifles" is a one-act play written by Susan Glaspell in 1916, which explores the lives of women in rural America in the early 20th century. The play is based on an actual murder case that Glaspell covered while working as a journalist in 1900. Part Two of "Trifles" focuses on the investigation of the murder of John Wright, a farmer, by his wife, Minnie Foster Wright. The play depicts the investigation led by County Attorney George Henderson, Sheriff Henry Peters, and neighboring farmer Lewis Hale, who are initially dismissive of the women's observations and insights. However, Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale, who are wives of the Sheriff and Hale, respectively, begin to understand and sympathize with Minnie's motives for causing her husband's death, which ultimately leads to a revelation about the patriarchal oppression faced by women in rural America. The play serves as a commentary on gender roles, oppression, and the ways societal norms can stifle individuals' desires and lead to extreme consequences.
