Your world is big as you make it
He is upset regarding <span>his daughter's condition and the possible connection to her inappropriate activities in the woods</span>
Answer :
The excerpt from part one of Trifles contains a stage direction that contributes to the character development of Mrs. Hale is :
"MRS. HALE. I’d hate to have men coming into my kitchen, snooping around and criticizing. (She arranges the pans under sink which the Lawyer had shoved out of place.)"
The main purpose of the stage directions in part one of the play is to convey the dreary and miserable condition of John Wright's farmhouse which is located in a lonely area. The dirty condition of the pots and pans and the roller towel hint at the possible depression Mrs. Wright might be going through after her husband's death.
The heart beat on how he's super nervous, I remember reading this story and he begans to become frantic and have second thoughts.
