Read the excerpt from part one of Trifles. COUNTY ATTORNEY. How did she seem to feel about you coming? HALE. Why, I don’t think
she minded—one way or the other. She didn’t pay much attention. I said, “How do, Mrs. Wright, it’s cold, ain’t it?” And she said, “Is it?”—and went on kind of pleating at her apron. . . . And then she—laughed. I guess you would call it a laugh. How does this dialogue further develop the idea that Mrs. Wright may have had a motive for killing her husband? It suggests that she has actually gone insane.
It suggests that she finds death humorous.
It suggests that she did not care about his death.
It suggests that she is hiding her real emotions.
It suggests that she did not care about his death.
Explanation:
Chuckling after the passing of friends and family is extremely irregular, yet it isn't unthinkable. From her activity, most perusers would in all likelihood think of two conceivable clarifications:
The first is that she is rationally shaken to the point where she chuckles like an disturbed individual. The second one is that she chuckles since she is the one that killed him and she is happy with the result.
Option C. It suggests that she did not care about his death.
Explanation:
The fact that Mrs Wright is laughing so soon after the death of her husband, might suggest that she does not care about his passing. While this is not enough evidence to accuse her of killing her husband, it is a plausible option that because she is the murder, she does not have any signs of sadness when thinking about her husband's death.
