Part Two-

5) "Triffles" is a play that uses realism, since the story follows a plot that could actually happen. A wife killing her husband, although slightly taboo, could be something that happens, in real life.

6) Marriage is a perpetual comedy bound to fail. Mr and Mrs. Wright, in Trifles, did not get along in their marriage. Through the tone Mrs.Wright has when her husband dies; shows there is no love between them, '' I walked from there to here--then I says, 'Why, what did he die of?' 'He died of a rope round his neck', says she, and just went on pleatin' at her apron."(Gladspell web). Another theme could be, jealously fuels the desire for people to kill. Mrs. Wright loved the bird more than, her husband, "No, Wright wouldn't like the bird--a thing that sang. She used to sing. He killed that, too"(web). Out of jealousy, Mr.Wright murdered Mrs.Wright's bird.

1) (cont) complex scenarios that would be difficult to duplicate in a play. Although it can still be done, the play is rather suitable for reading.

3) Glaspell and Ibsen use foreshadowing in their stories to hint the reader to what will happen next, keeping the reader intrasted and excited, foreshadowings such as the dead bird or the christmas presents which prelude to the ending of each of the stories.

6) The play Trifles contains a variety of themes that deals with woman's treatment in society. One theme found in the play Trifles, is "woman are greatly underestimated by men in society". One example can be found in the play when Mrs. Hales wonders if the possible killer, Mrs. Wright was going to knit or quilt an unfinished log pattern, this causes "the men [to] laugh" (Glaspell), as if mocking the woman's intelligence. Another theme found in the play is "woman are as intelligent and capable as men but men cannot see it", this can be found thorough the story where woman are doing an investigation on their own and actually find excellent clues that might lead them to the killer, such as the dead bird and the unfinished knitting.

5. Realism is represented by three topics throughout the whole play A Doll's House: Identity, expectations, and gender. Nora identifies herself as a "doll" she feels she was controlled by Torvald and her father. Nora realizes she wants to develop individuality. Nora tells Torvald " stand quiet alone" ( Ibsen 77). She rather leave than to stay in his "playhouse". Expectations during that time were for men to be dominant and women were expected to live and work for their family.

(continued) 3. Ibsen uses foreshadow in the play in the situation when Nora tries to hid her secret about using her husband's; Torvalds, money without his permission. For example she says "Speak low. suppose Torvalds were to hear" (10) this shows how even though Nora tried to hide her secret later Torvalds found out. Gaskell uses foreshadow by mentioning Mrs. Wright was knitting a quilt and that it was in a log cabin pattern(1072). This is then followed by the sheriff coming to a close realization of the situation.

6. The themes that is in Trifles is death and revenge. The whole thing that is connecting the whole characters together and the reason why they are there in crime scene was because of a murder of two things, the husband and the pet bird. With revenge, Mrs. Wright killed her husband due to him shooting the bird. This was brought up after they realize the quilt

4) Trifles contains symbols that represent and foreshadow events in the story, such as the dead bird found in a box with it's neck wrung out, the singing, caged bird represented Minnie and her life, just like the bird she was caged in a symbolic way, being confined to her own house. The bird used to sing beautiful songs representing her youth and spirit, but her sexist husband oppressed her and by him killing her bird, it represented the end of any joy in her life. The author, constantly uses the phrase "knot it" to foreshadow the death of Minnie's husband. Trifles, the title is also a big symbol, symbolizing all the little things the women noticed that the men did not, that were crucial parts of evidence.

1) "A doll's house"is a closet drama. the reason for it is that the scene never takes place in more than one room. the scene is only located in the hall, and that is it. the play "triffles" is also s closet drama since the scene never changes from the same general location.

2)It would be ideal to use a box set in a Doll's House because the only setting required is in the living room. An ideal convention for Trifles would be a proscenium arch because it would separate the viewers from actors and allows the viewers to see between the rooms

3)Ibsen uses a doll to foreshadow; The doll given to Nora's daughter is said to break soon, as Nora will later in the play. Glaspell uses the knitting to foreshadow the way Mr.Wright had died. The knitting twchnique referred as "Knot it" is similar to the rope used to kill Mr.Wright.

4)The symbol used in Trifle would be the bird, resembling Mrs. Wright and since the bird is dead, can resemble the dead relationship between Mr. and Mrs.Wright

1. A dolls house, by Henrik Ibsen is not a closet drama because it can be performed as a play, and is meant to be performed as a play, unlike the trifles which is play that is rather suitable for reading because it involves

2.  Important dramatic conventions in the play a dolls house are the Christmas tree and the box of costumes, because they are important symbols that are vital for the underlying meaning of the play and they foreshadow future events of the story. The dead bird and the unfinished knitting are important dramatic conventions in the play Trifles because they also foreshadow future events, such as the dead bird foreshadowing who was the killer and the unfinished knitting foreshadowing the unfinished investigation

1. No it is not a closet drama because it can be performed as a play. Trifles is somewhat a closet drama because, yes it is a better piece when read then performed but some scenes do have the potential to be a good piece for a performance.

2. For a dolls house you would only need one room. Some items you could use as set pieces is a Christmas tree, presents, a piano, fancy couch and macaroons. For trifles, imagine a house cut in half where you could see the rooms . Primarily.. a living room, kitchen and an upstairs room. Dirty pans, kitchen utensils could be used as props.

1.) A Doll's House is not preferably a closet drama because only in performance could you feel the real tension that the play offers through the implications, inflections, and visual expressions. Trifles on the other hand is more of a closet drama because of its short story and how detailed the stage directions seem to be, meaning that the importance of the stage directions can only be taken in completely if you read it at your own pace/preference.

2.) In A Doll's House it be important to show evidence that show is outside, the Christmas tree and its presents are noticeable, and that Nora has macaroons with her. In Trifles it would be important to make sure that the kitchen is in a state that shows that a violent event has occurred, the birdcage has no bird in it, and the box should have the dead bird in it.

3.) In A Doll's House, Ibsen used the Christmas tree and how it degraded over time as a sort of foreshadowing, where Glaspell used the quilt and the birdcage to convey the foreshadowing in Trifles.

4.) In Trifles, the cold weather serves as a symbol to the "cold" crime that occurred between the Wrights, where the jar of cherries could symbolize a sort of silver-lining within the Wright's conflict or the reality of women's roles a simple housewives back then.

5.) A Doll's House displayed a sense of Realism in the type of setting that the story took place: a box-set setting, because a dollhouse is organized as a box. Trifles displays Realism through the final conflict that the women had to undergo at the end of the story, a crucial decision between two persuasive yet contradictory choices.

6.) Two themes could be made in Trifles: Men have a sense of superiority with women, no matter the women, "Well, women are used to worrying over trifles" (Glaspell 1069). Also, power can be given to any gender due to the circumstances given at the moment, "We call it--knot it, Mr. Henderson" (Glaspell 1077).

1. Yes, both plays are closet dramas because they are being read by one person or individually by others.

2. A Doll's House is staged in a box set and portrays an actual doll house. Stage directions call for all characters to be in the one room when they are on stage and performing. Trifles also has a box set, the scene takes  place in the same room throughout the scene.

3. The gifts that Nora bought her children foreshadowed what would happen in her life. She would be oppressed and broken . In Trifles,  the  empty bird cage in the cabinet foreshadowed the violence in the house.

4. The fruit in Trifles represents Mrs. Wright's husband, she was worried about the fruit preserve glasses freezing and spoiling its contents. The same way that her cold heart led to her husband's death.

5. The meaning in A Doll's House reflect real struggles of women in the time period. In Trifles, the difficulty of marriage is portrayed when the foundation of a marriage is weak, and when there is a discord in affection.

6.

1.) A Doll's House is a closet drama, because Ibsen conveys the story though conflict and the story rather than through stage directions. The play,  is meant to be read to entertain the reader, to be acknowledged as a deeper form of literature, and not be acted out by performers. Trifles, however, is not a closet drama, because of the complex structure of the stage and stage directions. The reader must use the stage directions as support to further understand the conflict between the characters.

2.) The dramatic conventions in A Doll's House relates to the symbolism of the characters in the story, because the main protagonist, Nora, has similar qualities to the conventions. For example, the Christmas tree, is used in the story to symbolize Nora as a "decorated" individual, who's self image is covered up in order to please people, such as her husband, Torvald. Trifles, uses conventions to contribute to theme of the play. The major theme of the play is "women, who men say worry over trifles, can find in those little things large meanings" (Gladswell 1078). For example, the crisis between Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters contributes to the idea of women being inferior, and not being able to do a man's work.

3.) The foreshadowing in A Doll's Is used to hint to Nora's emotions following her conflict with Krogstad. The Christmas tree, in opening scene of Act II, is described as "disheveled" with "burned-down candle ends" (Ibsen 29). The scene follows with Nora appearing to be walking "uneasily"(29) around the room with the Christmas tree.

4.) The symbols found in Trifles directly relate to the story's theme, which infers to the idea of freedom. The bird cage found by Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters symbolizes freedom because the cage has been broken and the bird that did live in the cage is found dead later in a box found by the two women. the bird symbolizes the wife, Minnie, who is desperate to be freed from her husband
