The men in the story are openly derisive of the "trifles" that they see as constituting women's lives. They do not understand (or wish to understand) that men are the ones who organize the world in a way that relegates women to the private sphere—a sphere that is characterized by small, occasionally thankless or invisible tasks and trifles. However, Glaspell demonstrates how such trifles are not at all irrelevant. Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters undercover the truth about Minnie's life and why she may have killed her husband. Like the women, I do sympathize with Mrs.Wright. She was obviously in an abusive relationship with her husband.
