The society holds different realities to act naturally obvious, that all men are made equivalent, and that they are enriched by their Creator with certain unalienable rights that include; liberty, life and the quest for happiness among others. "Trifles" by Susan Glaspell, is a one-demonstration play, which incorporates components of what the women’s suffrage development is about. The play from Glaspell recounts the tale of a murder riddle of the wedded couple of Mrs. Wright and her better half, the murder casualty, John Wright; this story likewise joins the temperament of society at the time towards women, their economic wellbeing seen as underneath that of a male. "Trifles" demonstrates the oppressive attitude usually acknowledged among men towards women. In the play, different occasions show how men don’t realize the little things that can help in solving the worrying events throughout the play. Most of the play reflect on gender roles and power dynamics together with stereotypes of both men and women. In the play, men are stereotyped as strong and brave, hardworking while the women are seeing to be delicate and weak. Much of the preservations in the play are for men who have even denied the women their privacy. Susan Glaspell shows women as weak and only able to do weak responsibilities such as housekeeping and staying at their homes while the men are seen as breadwinners who are aggressive to their wives. However, in defense of womanhood, in some occasions, the women are seen to be united and ignoring the stereotypes that portray them as weak.
From the beginning of the murder riddle come early exposition viewpoints of the men not as much as equivalent states of mind towards the women. Amid a normal examination, Mr. Hale` is disclosing his experience to the area lawyer and his thinking for going by John, essentially being an endeavor to persuade John, for the second time, to purchase a phone. Additionally trusting his odds would increase the chances for an alluring answer, he sought after Johns spouse availability, saying, “. . . in spite of the fact that I said to Harry that I didn't know as what his significant other needed had much effect to John" (Glaspell 2). This remark tosses an insight to the group of onlookers about John's state of mind toward his significant other (Wife), as though John was the kind of spouse who dismissed thinking about Mrs. Wrights wishes. The County Attorney tells Mr. Hale, ". . . I would prefer not to discuss that" (Glaspell 2) getting over the inconspicuous piece of the information instantly. The main note taken by the district lawyer was just implicating to Mrs. Wright, taking note of a terrified look on the face of Mrs. Wright as per the declaration by Mr. Hale who kept on featuring, ". . . perhaps it wasn't frightened" (Glaspell 3). The County Attorney does not mind how John may have treated his significant other, rather focusing on Mr. Hale's announcement with respect to the asserted "terrified" look on Mr. Wrights confront. Constrained thought is likewise taken for women amid this time when addressed by a man. The men's predisposition is frequently and straightforwardly communicated to the women verbally. 
As per the discourse of the play, the men indicate they do not regard what the women say imperative or important. Mrs. Peters says one remark on how Mrs. Wright stressed over her fruit freezing, which it without any doubt had being forgotten. With scurry, the Sheriff fires back, addressing his male accomplices, "Well, would you be able to beat ladies! Held for murder and worrying' about her jelly" (Glaspell 3). Looking at this part of the play, it seems that men are ignorant on women and they care less on what happens to them. They are selfish and only concerned on their wellbeing. The men concur by and large about the Sheriffs remark, "Well, ladies are accustomed to stressing over wastes of time" (Glaspell 3), says Mr. Sound. The discourse of the play demonstrates the numbness and general absence of regard given to women’s remarks. Indeed, even the Sheriff addresses his better half straightforwardly as though women’s part in the house was good for nothing. The provocation seems unreasonable for making discussion. The bias from the men is evident and once a reader begins making inquiries about how the men treat the women, a pattern is seen with respect to the men's standards. The County Attorney kicks his foot against the skillet underneath the sink in the wake of finding no spotless towels, telling the women "A much of a housekeeper, would you say ladies?" (Glaspell 4). What sort of individual kicks another people cookware for reasons like so? At once where a kitchen was a place ruled by the women as the homemaker, this demonstrates the absence of regard given to the women’s primary space.
As Mrs. Diminishes and Mrs. Hale assemble things for Mrs. Wright, abuse is symbolized interestingly through a dead canary fledgling with a rope around its neck. Mrs. Hale finds the dead fowl in a case of Mrs. Wrights and tells Mrs. Peters "She used to sing. He killed that as well" (Glaspell 9) clarifying the kind of marriage Mrs. Wright had. The feathered creature (Bird) with a rope around its neck speaks with the reader the life Mrs. Wright lived after marriage with her significant other. Mrs. Wright was a liberated person and after that limited and disconnected from the things she adored. Long gone were the days when Mrs. Wright ". . . stood up there in choir and sang" (Glaspell 10). Singing was closed out from her life and the rope around John Wright's neck limited his life similarly. Sympathy is shown by the two Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale concerning Mrs. Wright. In this case, there seems to be limitation of Mrs. Wright adornments just because she is married. This shows the situation women undergo when they are married and they cannot run away from oppression. Only their fellow women friends are feeling compassionate about her but the men including the husband turn a blind eye towards her. Mr. Wright was also abusive and drained all her wife’s joy. 
The two women have a comradery that decides the result of Mrs. Wright's destiny in a substantially bigger manner than the men, by lowering themselves to their kindred woman and outmaneuvering the men. Mrs. Hale eventually takes the dead fowl in her pocket with a specific end goal to keep it away from the men and to ensure safety for Mrs. Wright. "We don't know who executed that winged animal" (Glaspell 10) said Mrs. Diminishes, in spite of the fact that a crowd of people of the play would have the capacity to expect a type of relationship with the rope around the neck of John Wright and the dead fowl. The two women know something about these fledgling associates with the case and would be extremely significant to the murder examination, yet they are modest towards Mrs. Wright and her life. Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Peters help to invalidate, ". . . a thought process; a remark outrage, or a sudden feeling." (Glaspell 6), which are the keys to the case as indicated by the Sheriff. Wiping out the bird with a rope around its neck deals with a strong bit of confirmation, which would absolutely be utilized against Mrs. Wright. From organic product jelly to almost illuminating a murder case, the women don't provide the men with some insight with respect to what they have found from their chance in the Wright habitation. This indicated how the woman is in great danger of oppression by the men once found in the wrong. That is the reason why all the women in the play gang up to protect their own before she lands in trouble. The women cover everything and show solidarity in womanhood. 
This play consolidates the temperament of society towards the ladies/women; their economic wellbeing is seen as below that of a male. 1916 was a period close to the pinnacle of women’s suffrage as women everywhere throughout the country had started to confront the preference and biased methods for their male partners. This play is all about the death of the woman’s spirit. The woman is seen to be dominated and overpowered by the husband or the men who submerge the women’s rights of movement, to own property and interaction with others in eth society. The push of the women aside and their oppression is what satisfies the men. Generally, the women’s right movement as well as the women have no right or collective willpower and the men suffocate them.
