Trifles: The Rise of Modern Feminism on the Stage, Part 2 — Quiz

Question 23 • English Language Arts 11

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

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

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.
