Trifles Explanation

In our detective story unit we read three stories, Full Circle, Wasps's nest, and Trifles. My favorite story out of those three would have to be Trifles because I love the story line and I liked how the ending was not revealed and it kept the audience guessing. In Trifles there is a lot of foreshadowing such as all of the symbols that are shown in the story. Some of the symbols would include the broken bird cage door. That could Symbolize how Minnie Wright finally got free but she did it in a very violent way by killing Mr. Wright. Trifles also has a lot of suspense. The women keep finding clues that the men didn't find and you never know what else the women are going to find or how the story is going to end. The characters in Trifles are very different from characters that you would see in a normal detective story, such as Minnie Wright. The audience does not know for a fact the Minnie Wright committed the murder but if she did commit the murder, she didn't act like a normal murderer would act. Minnie acted very calm and kind of shocked. A long with the way Minnie acted after the murder they're a lot of things that show that Minnie could have been unhappy before the murder also. A clue that Minnie could have been unhappy in her marriage before the murder is the half clean table, the clean side could symbolize Minnie's happy life before the marriage and the dirty side could symbolize her unhappy life after she got married. I liked this story a lot because of all the foreshadowing it had and how the author kept the audience guessing. I would recommend this story to anyone.
