- Wright (right)
Both Mars and John had the right attitudes and life before their marriage. John then had motive to kill her as symbolic towards the right thing to do as the play is centered on him. Mrs. Wright is then the suspect in her husband’s murder (Glaspell, 2004). In the end, the Wright name tuned out to be catastrophic.
- Minnie (mini)
Minnie with the symbolic mini meant that she was powerless or little without any effect in the meaning. However, after marriage she became the wife to the main character and is left in a position of little brevity or power to express herself. The effect is also symbolic when she became a witness to her husband’s murder.
- Hale (hale)
Hale was the last name of the neighbors to the Wrights. It is symbolic in meaning, as she could not console herself in helping the neighbor out of the cheerless life (Glaspell, 2004). It enables the plot development as depicted by the heavier build she had especially in the condescension. It was also shown by the men in general.
- Foster (foster)
Minnie’s last name before her marriage was Foster. It is symbolic since from the pronunciation is symbolized the lack of enough power in the character especially inside. In most probable circumstance, she was forced into the union as depicted by her powerless stat and living a cheerless life. It is further strengthened by her behavior on the rocking chair and lack of strength.
- Trifles (trifles)
Trifles depict
the unimportant or insignificant thing. It is symbolic in the play since the trifle
matters between the wrights facilitated the development of the theme, especially
with the big issues arising of murder (Patterson, 2005). In addition, the
issues no longer became trifle but major.
