Question

Which feminist theme is most supported by the excerpt?

Answer 1

Answer:

Women need to feel that they are determining their own fate

Explanation:

The excerpt "Read the excerpt from the play Trifles, by Susan Glaspell. HALE. Harry and I had started to town with a load of potatoes. We came along the road from my place; and as I got here, I said, “I’m going to see if I can’t get John Wright to go in with me on a party telephone.” I spoke to Wright about it once before, and he put me off, saying folks talked too much anyway, and all he asked was peace and quiet—I guess you know about how much he talked himself; but I thought maybe if I went to the house and talked about it before his wife, though I said to Harry that I didn’t know as what his wife wanted made much difference to John—"

Women should be given the freedom to determine their fate just like the men. The society shouldn't be the determinant of a woman's destiny.

There are some specific roles in the society that are mostly applicable to women.

Most society see women as beings who are supposed to live for their family such as taking care of their husbands and children rather than pursuing a career.

Women are expected not to have a career so they can dedicate their time and self to ensuring the smooth running of the family.

In addition, some career also differentiate women. They believe a woman can not triumph when they engage in it especially if the career requires physical strength and ability.
