This essay will be about the play “Trifles” by Susan Glaspell , and it should be at least four paragraphs in this case. It should begin with an introductory paragraph that has a clear thesis statement at the end. The first body paragraph should start with a transition and then carefully summarize the play by Susan Glaspell, identifying the main events in the play. Summary should cover all main events (like who does or says what to whom and why), but should stick to facts about the events in the story, not opinion. The second body paragraph should start with a transition and then respond to the reading (state opinion). In this case, the response should be a discussion of theme. What meanings or messages do you think the author was trying to convey? Consider the setting (rural America, around 1916) and what the play has to say about society, gender roles, and relationships between men and women at that time (even today if you think theme still applies). Provide evidence from the play (and outside sources if you use any) to support your interpretation. If you use more than one paragraph for the response, use clear transitions between paragraphs. Since this play does not have acts or scenes, use page numbers to group and cite elements from the reading.
