In addition to the fact that Peter could not enjoy domestic happiness, he is also unable to form lasting, loving relationships with any human being. This could be explained by Peter’s heartlessness that is attached to forgetfulness and narcissism. Firstly, his narcissism lies in the fact that he does not truly care about anyone except himself. Consequently, Peter “never noticed” how short Wendy’s dress become “at the end of the first year” because “he had so much about himself” and even when he came again after many years he at first didn’t notice “a difference, for he was thinking chiefly of himself”. Secondly, it is a known fact that memories have a very strong impact on life in general; they are a powerful source of emotions, also remembering
At the beginning of the short drama, “Trifles,” Mrs. Peters, the sheriff’s wife, is painted as timid and submissive wife. She willingly submits herself to the responsibilities she has as a wife. As the play unfolds, Mrs. Peter’s submissiveness begins to diminish. Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale work together to uncover the murder of Minnie Wright’s husband. When the women find the evidence, they refuse to share it with the men. Mrs. Peter’s character transforms into a more confident individual over the course of the play.
Linda and Willy’s relationship in the play is characterized by deep love and affection, but Willy does not frequently show the physical manifestations of such feelings. After thirty-five years of marriage, both characters have come to know each other’s subtle quirks and dreams, but Linda’s thorough understanding of Willy cannot be reciprocated. At first glance, she resembles a stereotypical housewife who passively stays home while her husband maintains his role as the breadwinner of the family,

El Paso Community College English 1302 Research and critical writing n SHORT STORY PROJECT: IND AFF THEME ANALYSIS Extreme relationships often tend to be abusive in In this way she understand each other’s point of view. The intensity in our story develops when our narrator discovers she really doesn’t love Peter. It’s when he asks her if she fancy’s the waiter (151), when she understands, at that moment she does not love him. Here is when she falls out of love in Sarajevo. It is because our narrator has a certain abusive struggle from Peter, that she seems to change her mind about him in such an instance. But through out the story she doesn’t seem to mind the way he mentally abuses her, how he’s always putting her down, and she doesn’t seem to understand that he still thinks of his wife but is practically with her for the fact she’s a good “LAY”. Her constant thought of Mrs. Piper, Peter’s wife, although she never physically appears in the story, she seems to always be present in her and his mind, making it hard for her to be fully with her lover (Peter) and in this way further extend her fantasious love relationship. She seems to be in denial about what truly is going on, and how she wants to make this work, when in deed she’s only in it for the grade, but she doesn’t want to
In the beginning of the play Peter and Anne were not good friends. During time they started enjoying each others company. They would go to each others rooms and talk for hours, sometimes even till bed. Mrs. Vann Dann didn’t like that they were spending so much time together, she thought they were more than friends. Soon they had feelings for each other in a more than friend way, Mrs. Van Daan learned her suspicions were right. Anne felt like Peter was the only person she could really talk to, and at the beginning he was the last person she’d ever talk to and have a full conversation with.
Growing up during the Holocaust was a rough time especially for Anne. Growing up in a small cramped annex with strict rules and a family she hardly knew was not an easy transition from her living in her own home with some to no rules. To go into hiding Anne

They have strict rules, but it’s the only way to stay a secret. Towards the beginning of the play, Peter and Anne have a teasing and kind of playful relationship. They don’t totally like each other, but they’re also very different. Anne is closer to her father than anyone else, but she doesn’t really enjoy her mother. Anne and Margot are fairly close, but Anne seems pretty jealous of Margot and her looks. Mrs. and Mr. Van Daan seem kind of rude to her.
The play begins in Mrs. Wright’s kitchen. The Sheriff, county attorney, and a few neighbors are there because Mrs. Wright’s husband has been murdered. The question is, who murdered him and why? Could Mrs. Wright be a tragic hero? The men are in the process of investigating the murder, but the women are more worried about the appearance of the house.

Susan Glaspell's Trifles The play examines the relationships between husbands and wives and reflects stereotypes of gender, particularly a marriage that ended in murder. The setting, a messy kitchen, reflects to me that the women stand together, emphasizing both the way they have been pushed together by their male-dominated society but also, possibly, their loyalty to each other over their husbands, a topic explored in the play. The men repeatedly dismiss things as beneath their notice if they are things such as the canning jars of fruit that are, in their opinions, women’s concerns. The men never recognize that they have forced the women to be concerned about these things, by not allowing them to be concerned about anything else. The men’s dismissal reflects a larger mindset of devaluing women and their opinions and interests in general.

Before the play commenced, I noticed the stage had been set up to look like a cozy petite home. The tight space that included a door, a couch and chair, and a small table and chairs, had candy wrappers on the floors and bath towels unfolded lying around. There was an obvious reason for the noticeable mess. String lights lined the top of the set to create the relaxed atmosphere. Soon they would dim and ‘night, Mother would begin.
The play features very minimal scenery and props, while the characters develop as everyday individuals presenting their own personalities. During the first two acts, entitled “Daily Life” and “Love and Marriage,” the Stage Manager hints the existence of the Webb and the Gibbs, two families who are later united by the marriage of their children, George and Emily. Furthermore, their wedding scene conveys similar message as the audience is transported back to George and Emily’s wedding day, as various characters’ voice their opinions about her as a bride and the wedding, which forces them to make their own judgment and promotes the idea that while marriage is a sentimental part of a person’s life overcoming their doubtful thoughts and worries as soon-to-be-weds; “What a lovely bride!” “Each marriage is different from all the others, and no definition could satisfy
