Trifles And Njury Of Her Peers Analysis

Trifles and ¨Jury of Her Peers¨ takes place in a home where a murder case takes place. The events that took place were, during a case a detective tries to figure out the culprate. The story changes when you involve the different characters. While both works are similar in the theme and characters traits, the point of view varies greatly.
The theme of both works are fairly similar in the sense that the theme is that women are viewed as inferior compared to the man. They both depict Mrs.Wright being pushed to her limit after several extensive years of neglect and abuse by her husband. This is pointed out by Mrs.Peters when she says ¨ A person gets discouraged and loses a heart¨ (¨Jury of Her peers¨ 8).They also portray the lack equality

in the expectations aspect, this is shown by Mrs.Peters again in Trifles,” of course its no more then their duty“( ).
Another way both writing are similar is how comparable. Trifles goes for a more broad and standard approach.”She was rockin, she had her apron in her hand and was kind of - pleating it” ()This differs from the short story by realizing that it took a more personal and in depth approach. ¨I said ‘Ho do, Mrs.Wright? It's cold aint it?´ And she said ´is it´-- And went on pleatin at her apron¨ ( 6 ).This made you better understand the emotions and energy in the room at that moment. It had a more, eerie and gloomy tone.
Finally, one major deviation is the point of view. While both are third person in Trifles it was more objective, meaning it was less personal. “I think id rather have you go into that upstairs where you can point it all out…”( ) Jury went with a more personal tone being that it was third person limited, that shouldnt be surprising. “ ‘I think I’d rather have you go into that upstairs’ the county attorney interrupted, ‘where can you point it all out. just go on now with the rest of the story”( ).. Though These were the same scene, they were approached differently giving different tones and overall moods.
In conclusion trifles and “jury of her peers” share many things in common, such as their theme and characters traits, but a major problem is how different the point of view is and how greatly this changes the tone of the story.
