Trifles Discussion Board

Answer ALL THREE questions below. Each of your answers should be a well-developed paragraph, not just a sentence or two.  After you submit your answer, you’ll be able to see other students’ answers as well.  You can even reply to their answers (and if you do so, you might receive bonus points for beginning a thoughtful conversation).  

Look up the word “trifle.” What does it mean?  What are some trifles in the play?  Why might the title be ironic?
What do we learn about Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale from their conversations? What are their home lives like?  Their marriages?
Who do you think the main character is? With whom do you feel the most sympathy?  Is there a hero?
