In the play Trifles, the play write Susan Glaspell believes that women are being undressed by the men. This is shown throughout the story with the usage of several types of irony: dramatic, verbal, and situational.

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.
