It is a known fact that both men and women had different tasks in society. In both plays “A Doll’s House” and “Trifles”, it is obvious how women are not treated as equals by the men. The play “A Doll’s House”, which takes place in a small town in Norway, tells the “happy” life of Nora and her husband, Trovald. Then the other play “Trifles”, which takes place in Nebraska, USA, tells how the men, and the women accompanying them react differently to the life the murder suspect lived. Even though…

My Substitute Capabilities Two women solve a murder with their instincts in a suspenseful story written by Susan Glaspell called “A Jury of Her Peers”. The characters in “A Jury of Her Peers”, precisely the women, each used an alternative literacy to understand what events went on the day a farmer’s wife committed a crime. Alternative literacy is one’s ability to interpret actions of living things or events through counts of practice and knowledge of the matter. Reading animals and people are…

Feminism in Trifles Trifles may be about two women keeping the truth behind a murder a secret, but feminism is also slipped into the play, and plays a key role within the performance. Feminism in Trifles was radical; it was very clear from both the performance watched in class, as well as script. This makes sense because the play is set in the late 19th century, and it was typical for women to be treated so discourteously. Glaspell showed her view of feminism through the way two women acted…

Susan Glaspell's "Trifles" is a one act play based in the early 20th century that includes strong feminist elements that fit well with the time and the world-wide women's rights movement. The play is a murder mystery surrounding the Wrights, Mrs. Wright the wife, and John Wright the murder victim. The story also uses the general mood of society toward women and how they were viewed as beneath most men and not having the intelligence or ability to perform as well as men in most situations. The…

Both Trifles by Susan Glaspell and The Sound of a Voice by David Henry Hwang share common traits, despite the obvious differences. They share mysteries and certain portrayals of women during the time periods. These will be discussed along with any influences the authors had when they were writing these plays. The first common trait is the mysteries both plays hold. The murder mystery in Trifles, the mystery of who the woman is in The Sound of a Voice, and the mystery of why the man came to the…

Frank Lloyd Wright designed well over a thousand different buildings during his life, most of which were residential, considering he was a domestic architect who believed that he had a greater impact on society by the structures he designed for people to live in. He believed that the people would benefit if their houses were well designed. Though he is well known for his efforts in residential housing, Wright also made his mark in commercial buildings with some notable projects such as the…

Louis Sullivan Introduction Among the first great modern architect, Louis Sullivan was the first to introduce a powerful vocabulary at early age. He was the most imaginative and articulate figure among a small group of creative men in Europe and America. Initially, many architecture were known to use traditional forms of medieval heritage and classical but Sullivan struck out in a new direction. He managed to develop an introductory terms of his organic theory of building art. His kindergarten…

his concept were significant in American cultural change through the fact that he had been an influence of another distinct architect, which was Frank Lloyd Wright. His concept was popularized by later modern - day design teachers by having it shared with design students all over the country, stating it as “form follows…

These many folk structures are the soil, natural. Though often slight, their virtue is intimately related to environment and the heart-life of people” (Frank Lloyd Wright). Sheeler used his photography to combine the new American Machine Age’s with its roots. Sheeler’s paintings do not feel outdated fifty years later. Their lack of a personal signature or human figure keep them relevant. At first glance…

Different cultures have a set of rules and guidelines that prescribe the acceptable norms in the society. These gender roles largely determine how women, children and men should conduct themselves within their communities. In Trifles, Susan Glaspell exposes a society that trivializes women’s opinions while upholding the male point of view. The three male characters in the play consistently emphasize the fact that women have a penchant for unimportant things in the society. The dominance…
