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

Question 9 • English Language Arts 11

In part two of Trifles , which of the following best supports the feminist theme that women suffer abuses within a male-dominated society?

Answer
A
the shattered jar of fruit
B
the bird with the broken neck
C
the quilt with the uneven stitching
D
the sewing basket

Explanation

The bird with the broken neck most strongly supports the feminist theme. The bird’s death mirrors Minnie Wright’s oppression and the abuse she experiences in her male-dominated marriage; both are silenced and controlled. The sewing basket, fruit jar, and uneven stitching are clues to Minnie’s daily life, but they do not represent that abuse as directly.
