Question 13 • FL-1001370-English 3 Sem 2 - Flex

In part two of Trifles, how does the image of the dead bird wrapped in a silk cloth strengthen the feminist theme that women often suffer abuses within a male-dominated society?

Answer
A
The bird symbolizes loneliness, which Mrs. Wright endured throughout her marriage to Mr. Wright.
B
The bird symbolizes Mrs. Wright’s beauty, which heightened Mr. Wright’s insecurities about his marriage.
C
The bird symbolizes Mrs. Wright’s hopes of a singing career, which likely died when she married Mr. Wright.
D
The bird symbolizes nature, which Mrs. Wright missed greatly once she became secluded in the house.

Explanation

The dead bird represents the loneliness and emotional isolation Mrs. Wright experienced in her marriage. Like the bird, whose singing is silenced, Mrs. Wright’s former liveliness was suppressed by Mr. Wright’s controlling, harsh treatment. This supports the feminist theme by showing how a woman can suffer under male domination. The bird is not mainly a symbol of a lost singing career or of Mrs. Wright’s beauty.
