Trifles: The Rise of Modern Feminism on the Stage, Part 1

Question 1 • BT 26-27 English Language Arts 11 B

Based on Hale’s comment, what can you infer was a common attitude during the time of Trifles? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
Women’s thoughts are not considered to be as important as men’s.
B
It is normal for men to make generalizations about all women.
C
Women are the ones who notice important details.
D
Women take care of details that are less important than those that concern men.

Explanation

Hale’s remark that women are “used to worrying over trifles” generalizes about women and treats their concerns as unimportant. It suggests that women’s thoughts were not valued as highly as men’s and that domestic details were seen as less important than men’s concerns. Although the women do notice important clues, that is not the dismissive attitude expressed by Hale’s comment.
