I really enjoyed *Trifles*! A nice short play that was very easy to follow and understand (unlike Othello) :o).
My favorite part was in the beginning when Mr. Hale was describing the dialog he had with Mrs Wright. It was a bit comical to me, for some reason, that there wasn't a lot of "she said", rather it was "says she" or "says I". Such as: "I walked from there to here-then I says.." (Glaspell 839). I found this interesting because today we just don't speak that way. It seemed important to the scene that the conversation run together without much interruption from the other characters as if he was in a hurry to tell what he knew. This is the point in the play where I became very interested and couldn't wait to find out what Mr. Hale had to tell me next. I think the play was purposefully written that way to hook the reader at the very beginning.
