Trifles

Plays are often easier to understand when they are seen and not read. Watching the clip of "Trifles," a play written by Susan Glaspell, gave me an understanding of the mood and situation in the play that the reading did not. The clip has very spooky background music which added tension to the story. The dark lighting used in the house of the clip helps illustrate the mysterious and suspenseful tone of the play. The clip shows the faces and expressions of Mrs Peter and Mrs Hale as they were unveiling the death of Mr Wright and the woman who killed him while he was asleep. While reading the play it was hard to know who was talking when and how the death of Mr Wright happened, but after watching the clip all the pieces came together.
