In part two of Trifles , which of the following images most reinforces the theme of loneliness that exists throughout the play?

Answer
A
the broken hinge on the door of the birdcage
B
the partially messy table in the kitchen
C
the box in which the dead bird was found
D
the hollow in which the Wright home sat

Explanation

The Wright home sits in a hollow, separated from its neighbors and the rest of the community. That isolated setting reinforces the play’s recurring theme of loneliness, especially Mrs. Wright’s isolation. The broken birdcage and the dead bird symbolize her loss of freedom and the events that led to the murder, but the hollow most directly suggests loneliness.
