Response on this
In this weeks reading of the drama Trifles I did notice that Mrs. Peters seemed to be more concerned than Mrs. Hale with the legalities of the situation regarding Mrs. Wright.During the reading Mrs. Peters kept telling Mrs. Hale that the county attorney and sheriff were doing their job while looking for evidence of Mr. Wrights death.Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale had two different perspectives about what really happen in the murder of Mr. Wright and was Mrs. Wright telling the truth of how her husband got murdered.First Mrs. Peters did not know Mrs. Wright at all causing Mrs. Peters to not really rely on what Mrs. Wright had said about what happen that night of the incident.It seem like Mrs. Peters did not have any sympathy for what Mrs. Wright was going through during that time.However I felt that because Mrs. Hale knew Mrs. Wright Mrs. Hale display some compassion on this newly widow.When Mrs. Hale was expressing her concern about Mrs. Wright well-being Mrs. Peters stated But Mrs. Hale the law is the law. (Glaspell 778)Overall the two women outlook on Mrs. Wrights current situation made this drama reading interesting.It was interesting that Mrs. Hale felt that she should have spent more time with Mrs. Wright or she should have did something to bring some form of happiness into Mrs. Wrights life.Mrs. Hale expressed her concern about Mrs. Wright by saying I might have known she needed help! I know how things can be — for women. (Glaspell 782)As a result of Mrs. Hales compassion she intentionally lied and hid information or evidence from the attorney and sheriff that was located in the Wrights household.
