The quotation that shows the theme that important information can exist in "trifling" details is "Look at the sewing! All the rest of it has been so nice..."
<h3>What is theme?</h3>
In literary works, theme is the idea, the message behind the work itself. The theme is often not explicit. We can grasp it through the characters' actions and dialogues.
In the play "Trifles" and well as the short story "A Jury of her Peers," by Susan Glaspell, one theme is that important information can exist in "trifling" details.
The men who are investigating a murder are arrogant and conceited, and they are often saying that the women keep themselves busy by worrying about trifles. However, the women are the ones who figure out the motive for the murder precisely because they pay attention to such little things that the men do not.
The quotation that reveals that theme is the following:
- "Look at the sewing! All the rest of it has been so nice and even. And look at this! It's all over the place!"
It shows how the women realize there was something wrong with their friend prior to the murder by noticing how uneven her sewing is.
