Answer:
Based on part two of "Trifles", the symbolism behind the uneven stitching in Mrs. Wright's otherwise perfect quilt indicates that she:
4. was agitated or distracted by something during her quilting.
Explanation:
"Trifles" is a short play by Susan Glaspell. Filled with symbolism, the story concerns the death of Mr. Wright and the accusation of his wife. The Sheriff, a Count Attorney, and Mr. Hale go around the house looking for evidence that may reveal a motive - the reason why Mrs. Wright would kill her husband. While they do it, Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters (the Sheriff's wife) stay in the kitchen. Although constantly criticized by the men for paying attention to trifles - little things -, it is the women who find the evidence which reveals the motive. However, they choose to not tell the men.
<u>Among the several things the two women find, and that function as symbols in the story, there is a quilt. Mrs. Wright was good at making quilts, and this one is perfectly made with the exception of one part. This part's stitching is uneven, so different from the rest that Mrs. Hale quickly grasps its meaning. She wonders what Mrs. Wright was nervous about to have sewed like that. The quilt indicates Mrs. Wright was agitated, unfocused.</u>
