"Plays by Susan Glaspell" is a collection of dramatic works written in the early 20th century. This volume contains several one-act plays, including the well-known piece "Trifles," which explores themes of gender roles, social justice, and the complexities of human experience through the lives of its characters. The collection often revolves around women's perspectives and the societal issues they face, highlighting their experiences in a male-dominated society. The opening of the collection introduces "Trifles," setting the stage in a gloomy farmhouse where a group of men, including the County Attorney and Sheriff, are investigating the murder of John Wright. They are joined by their wives, Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale, who initially seem to occupy trivial roles. However, as the men dismiss various domestic objects as insignificant, the women begin to uncover deeper truths about Wright’s life and the emotional turmoil of his wife, Minnie. As the men search for tangible evidence, the women piece together the psychological narrative that ultimately reveals the motivations behind the crime, highlighting the theme of understanding versus ignorance across gender lines.
