The characters address the audience; the fast movement from scene to scene juxtaposing past and present and prevents us from identifying with particular characters, forcing us to assess their points of view; there are few characters who fail to repel us, as they display truly human complexity and fallibility. That fallibility is usually associated with greed and a ruthless disregard for the needs of others. Emotional needs are rarely acknowledged by those most concerned with taking what they maintain is theirs, and this confusion of feeling and finance contributes to the play's ultimate bleak mood.
Ludvigson imagines her parents are the man and woman in the painting and she creates a dialogue between them. "They sit in a bright café, discussing Hemingway and how this war will change them" (Ludvigson 1- 3). They seem to be suspended in the glow of the light from the diner and framed in a sheet of glass that divides them from the street. There is no rhyming, except between café and Hemingway, which establishes a cheery tone, despite the dark subject matter of war. During this defining time in America, the poem seems to be lighthearted and playful. "Their coffee's getting cold but they hardly notice. My mother's face is lit by ideas. My father's gestures are a Frenchman's" (Ludvigson 11-14). The rest of the imaginary conversation goes on about novelists and poets and they joke in a loving manner. "They decide, though the car is parked nearby, to walk the few blocks home, savoring the fragrant night, their being alone together" (Ludvigson 20-23). Her parents are depicted as equals and speak to each other as equals, unlike the other poems where the male is superior. Her parents seem to remain fully engaged in a conversation about what it means to be in America. Whatever the fascination is, these four people and a diner scene have led to the retelling of a possible storyline and the life these people

James’s thought was shocking to everyone where he revealed that he had feeling for Theresa. James and Marty are life partners, yet James was not honest with Marty; this shows that the truth eventually comes out between the lies even if theater is only pretending.

This play revealed the truth about how beautiful when people throw themselves earnestly and unselfconsciously into something and be healed through the interaction with each
Each character, in some capacity, is learning something new about themselves. Whether it be new views, new feelings, newfound confidence, or a new realization of past events, each character involved in the play realizes something view-altering by the end of the play. Bonny is realizing that she is growing up and discovering how to deal with boys, and to lie to her parents; Elsie realizes that she doesn’t need her father for everything, and eventually overcomes her fear of driving on her own; Grace is discovering that she must let her children think for themselves at times, and that she must let Charlie choose what he wants to do; and Charlie, of course, is discovering that there are more ways to think than the status quo that society presents. Each character obviously goes through very different struggles throughout the play, but in the end, they all result in realizing something about themselves they didn’t at the beginning of the

The structural and technical features of the story point towards a religious epiphany. The title of the story, as well as its eventual subject, that of cathedrals, points inevitably towards divinity. Upon first approaching the story, without reading the first word of the first paragraph, one is already forced into thinking about a religious image. In addition, four of the story’s eleven pages (that amounts to one third of the tale) surround the subject of cathedrals.

Only when your neighbors problems affect you personally or instill a degree of emotion in you then do we begin to try to help them out. We see this when the narrator says that he despises Sonny’s friend. That Sonny’s friend only ever asked for money and that for some reason the narrator always gave in to his request and gave him a dollar or two. After the narrator talks to the friend about Sonny’s recent happenings he again asks the narrator for a dollar. The narrator makes a comment that he did not mind giving him what he had in his pocket this time because they both connected in a way because of Sonny’s situation. There was an invisible venn diagram in the narrator's mind that beforehand had nothing in the middle overlapping circle to connect him to the friend. Now, because of their both shared worries, the narrator begins to warm up to the friend. We see this again when the narrator points out that his own troubles made Sonny’s problems real. When Grace - the narrator’s daughter - dies, the narrator talks about the fact that he had written to Sonny in a long time. This simple action or the idea that my problems make me understand your problems also stems from a capitalistic society. In this day and age, how many companies and businesses make decisions that either push their own agendas or benefit their investors without regards for the good of the rest of their society?

She defines her idea of what is right in a relationship by describing how hard and painful it is for her to stray from that ideal in this instance. As the poem evolves, one can begin to see the author having a conflict with values, while simultaneously expressing which values are hers and which are unnatural to her. She accomplishes this accounting of values by personalizing her position in a somewhat unsettling way throughout the poem.
Although the dialogues have basically been unchanged from the dramatic version to the prose fiction version, Glaspell has passed her message more effectively in the narrative. While Glaspell uses the characters or actors to vocalize the emotions of the story from the play “Trifles”, she makes the reader feel the emotions in “A Jury of Her Peers” by including descriptive passages to accompany the dialogue in her narration. The opening paragraph of the story was a description of Mrs. Hale’s unkempt kitchen “… which will later serve as a point of comparison with the major scene of the story, Mrs. Wright’s kitchen” (Mustazza). This opening description helps readers foreshadow why Mrs. Hale could easily identify with Mrs. Wright. “Through her brief opening description of the landscape Glaspell establishes the physical context for the loneliness and isolation, an isolation Minnie inherited from and shared with generations of pioneer and farm women before her” (Hedges). The description of the road to Mr. Wright’s farm also helps reveal to readers Mrs. Wright’s “geographical isolation” (Hedges). Glaspell provides the short story v...
