who are the protagonist/s and antagonist/s in Susan Glaspell's Trifles??

Answer 1

Strictly speaking, a work of literature can have only one protagonist, but that rule is pretty hard to apply sometimes. (So who's the protagonist of Romeo and Juliet?) In "Trifles," I would call Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters both protagonists and the men the antagonists. The conflict in the play is between the sexes, although the male characters are hardly aware of that fact. You may be interested to know that Susan Glaspell rewrote the play as a short story called "A Jury of Her Peers," which you can read online here: http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/toccer-new2?id=GlaJury.sgm&images=images/modeng&data=/texts/english/modeng/parsed&tag=public&part=1&division=div1
The second title makes the situation and the conflict a little clearer. Just consider who would have been on a jury at the time the play takes place and whether they would have been the peers of any "her."

The things that the women find in Mrs. Wright's house are considered "trifles," or pointless, by the men who are investigating the murder. It is ironic becuase the things that the two women find (like the bird and the needlework) actually could be used as evidence in the murder trial against Mrs. Wright. And the men simply overlook the "womanly" or "pointless" things.
