The vulnerability of female identity Between the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, women in society were looked down upon by men. Susan Glaspell's play, “Trifles,” was written in 1916, and reflects on the concern of women's role in society. “Trifles” suggests that women's concern is often considered an unimportant issue, or even unimportant to the real work of society, which is done by men. Trifles talks about a murder case in which his wife, Minnie Wright, was accused of killing her husband John Wright. The sheriff, county attorney and neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Hale, explain how he visited the house the previous day and searches for evidence to prove Mrs. Wright's guilt in the murder. The play subtly illustrates how the female characters, Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale, locate many small pieces of evidence to prove Mrs. Wright's murder. However, the male characters do not identify this evidence, even though the female characters subtly revealed it through their testimonies. Glaspell uses the play's characters, symbolism, and the play's message to convey the concept of women's inferiority.

In my opinion, men can look at things objectively and gather evidence from a logical point of view. On the other hand, women are able to connect emotionally and show sympathy to achieve the result . Glaspell, in this article, conveyed the importance of combining the two together to achieve the best possible outcome and illustrated the difficulty of obtaining justice if gender discrimination exists. I agree that both men and women should cooperate for the better. Men and women interpret things differently and have different thoughts in certain situations. It is important to combine different perspectives to brainstorm circumstances from various angles. For this reason, gender equality is essential to achieving justice.
