Yes, it seems to be an alternative, in some situations acceptable, but eccentric and not neutral spelling of this word. It accents the fact that "ea" here are two separate vowels rather than a diphthong: that is the function of the trema (the two dots).

In practice it's not used much, because it's not really necessary: it does not distinguish it from any other word, and trema is not easy to find on English keyboards: so there is no need.

The fact that women often feel pressured to conform to society's expectations is a common feminist theme found within literature

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Explanation:

Susan Glaspell in her one-act play "Trifles" had used many symbols to depict the life of women in a society.

In Part two of the act, she had used the symbols of "quilt" and "jar of fruit" to symbolize the life of Minnie and other women in a society. Women in society are usually concerned with household works, making quilts, filling jar bottles with fruits jam, etc.

In part two, the quilt symbolized Minnie's life which is neatly woven, taking all the pieces of her life. The second symbol was, jar of fruit, which was laid outside in need of heat.

So, the correct answer is option D.
