*Men & Women:
"Ways of thinking, collecting information, and arriving to conclusions"

Male Camp Female Camp

1- Men do not care about details such as the kitchen, towels, bread, bird…etc.
Men do not consider the harsh circumstances of being a farmer's wife; they judge Mrs. Wright as unclean just through apparent items. Men cannot predict nor analyze.
1- Women care about details to formulate the big picture. Women recollect the past to understand and to predict the future.
Women understand even predictable men, but women are unpredictable. They can analyze.
"He'll make fun of her."<<Mrs. Peters
"But I suppose just to make here feel more natural." <<Mrs. Peters
"I might have known she needed help" Mrs. Hale

2- Men believe that women are like children, they are inferior and irrational. >> quote page 1022 "keep an eye out for anything that might be of use to us."<<county Attorney

2- Men in women's eyes are careless, unappreciated creatures, cold, indifferent and think that they are superiors.

3-Males are working separately to get the credit of solving the crime. Men want women to collect evidences as a sign of enslaving them, and then the credit will be purely male. "Keep an eye out for anything that might be of use to us."<<county Attorney
3-Females create a link of sorority.
E.g., Mrs. Hale starts cleaning the table and completing what Mrs. Wright did not finish. Because of that, They also connect things together. E.g., They connected the evidences with the reasons and motives that caused them.


*Trifles: "meaning of trifles as shown in the drama"
*What are the trifles that formulate the whole picture?!

1- The Bird:
Killing the bird leads to the murder of the husband; when the husband killed the bird he killed
Mrs. Wright's freedom; so, she killed him in revenge for that.

2-The Dirty Towels and sewing confusion:
They reflect the confusion of Mrs. Wright. She was confused because she killed her husband.
4- Unfinished tasks:
They reflect the confusion of Mrs. Wright. She was confused because she killed her husband.
5-skirt and apron
It also represents the psychological upheaval, she was pleating at the apron because she committed the crime.

6- The coldness of the kitchen:
They reflect the coldness of their relationship, so this is a motive for her to kill him.
7- Connecting between past, present and future.
When the women connect between past, present and future, they formulate the whole picture.

8- The little piece of information about John:
He was a cold hard unkind man. He liked loneliness and isolation and he was not cheerful. He imprisons his wife. P.1023 " she used to wear pretty…..."
In addition, He liked peace and quite. Like when Mr. Hale says:" all he asked was peace and quiet"; so this is can be a motive for Mr. Wright to kill the bird and for Mrs. Wright to kill her husband. He had the upper hand in everything.

9. The Quilt:
This is the most important trifle. The quilt showed a disturbance in Mrs. Wright's life. The knotting of the quilt seemed to be the same type of knot used to strangle Mr. Wright. The women noticed that trifle, but the men were too busy looking at the dead body and overlooking the similar knotting of the quilt and of the rope around Mr. Wright's neck. The men though, laugh at the women's wondering about the quilt. To them it is of littlie importance, but at the end of the play they realized its large importance. County Attorney: "Well, Henry, at least we found out that she was not going to quilt it. She was going to--what is it you call it, ladies! Mrs. Hale (her hand against her pocket). We call it--knot it, Mr. Henderson.

*The evidences that lead to the fact that John killed the bird are:
1. John is a quiet person.
2. He likes peace, so he will kill the bird because the bird sings 24/7.
3. He prevented her from her friends, so he hates noise.
