The tale was told as a fictional story instead of a play

The assertion that the drama in a play reveals the attitude, opinion, and culture resonates to a huge extent in Susan Glaspell’s play “trifles.” In this play, the drama revolves around the dead body of Mrs. Wright’s husband, which is upstairs hanging from a rope. The men in the play are so preoccupied with finding clues that they ignore the plight of Mrs. Wright. As for the women, they put pieces together and realize that Mrs. Wright was being abused by the husband, and hence she killed him. In this situation, the prevailing culture is that of male domination. As for the attitude, it seems that men are indifferent to abuse directed towards women. Inversely, women are very concerned and will take care of each other, just like Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters did. I relate to the conflict and ideas in this play, given that the abuse that Mrs. Wright went through still happens in the present moment. As well, what is being done to help the women is not enough.

In the instance, the tale was told as a fictional story instead of a play; the drama would have been less vivid. Therefore, the reader would not have been carried away by the experience of Mrs. Wright, like in the play. Given that, the story would have been worse since it has lost the emotional connection to the audience.
