Question 12 • (OC27) ENG 4-1001400-S2-VRobinson-VOL7006P

In part two of Trifles, which of the following most supports the feminist theme that women suffer abuses within a male-dominated society?

Answer
A
the sewing basket
B
the shattered jar of fruit
C
the bird with the broken neck
D
the quilt with the uneven stitching

Explanation

The bird with the broken neck symbolizes Minnie Wright’s own loss of freedom and the abuse she suffers in her marriage. Her husband’s act of killing the bird reflects the cruelty and control women can face in a male-dominated society. The sewing basket, fruit jar, and uneven stitching are clues, but the dead bird most directly supports this feminist theme.
