Trifles (while reading) The play opens with the investigation of a crime. Keep track of any clues that you feel might be important later. Keep track of gender roles in 1916

Trifles (clarification) What happened in the relationship between Mr. and Mrs. Wright? Why did she kill him? Motive? Was Mrs. Wright abused? Why was finding a motive so critical for the men? At what point did Mrs. Peters change her mind?
