Trifles

I've got to respect the women in this play! They knew that if the men found the bird, Mrs. Wright would be sent straight to jail. So what do they do? They back her up! I enjoyed the sense of community within the women. Mrs. Wright isn't even there really to see. I appreciate when people do the right thing even when nobody is watching. Now people will argue that it is never okay to kill, but I'm going to have to disagree. I feel that it was almost an instance of self defense that she killed her husband. He pushed her and pushed her until there was nothing else for her to do. The emotional abuse had to be hard for her, and that was her way out. So I instantly side with the women and I am glad they did what they did.

Flea out!

  1. Girl power! I honestly in a sort of twisted way love the way the women back up their friend's murder of her husband. Its morally wrong indeed, but its just so juicy. And how they never even considered turning her in! Thats real friendship right there. The sense of community if what made the women in this play so likable. They really had each other back, even when things got really bad. Killing is always a negative thing in my opinion. But i can definitely empathize with her struggles in the play, and I totally understand your point of view.
