In the one-act play “Trifles,” Susan Glaspell has highlighted many of the important ills of the society that a woman had to face. She speaks about all the above-mentioned themes in her play. The discrimination that a woman faces in this male-centric society which leads her to the world of isolation is the main theme of the play. She talks about the nature of males towards females and the way they mock at them. A women’s craving desire to live and think freely in this society has a reoccurring aspect throughout the play. Trifles give an account of the farm life in the early twentieth century and especially about the life of women working in the farms. About justice and judgment, this play has a lot to tell. It speaks about the laws which have been made by the men and how women had to follow them too. Men had never asked women to become a part of the decisions that they have been taking. Though women had to accept such laws and punishments which the prejudiced society asks them to do.
