Question

Which line of dialogue in this excerpt from Susan Glaspell's Trifles suggests that the attorney believes women are incapable of plotting?
COUNTY ATTORNEY: No, Peters, it's all perfectly clear except a reason for doing it. But you know juries when it comes to women. If there was some definite thing. Something to show—something to make a story about—a thing that would connect up with this strange way of doing it—

(The women's eyes meet for an instant. Enter HALE from outer door.)

HALE: Well, I've got the team around. Pretty cold out there.

COUNTY ATTORNEY: I'm going to stay here a while by myself, (to the SHERIFF) You can send Frank out for me, can't you? I want to go over everything. I'm not satisfied that we can't do better.

SHERIFF: Do you want to see what Mrs Peters is going to take in?

(The LAWYER goes to the table, picks up the apron, laughs.)

COUNTY ATTORNEY: Oh, I guess they're not very dangerous things the ladies have picked out. (Moves a few things about, disturbing the quilt pieces which cover the box. Steps back) No, Mrs Peters doesn't need supervising. For that matter, a sheriff's wife is married to the law. Ever think of it that way, Mrs Peters?

MRS PETERS: Not—just that way.

Answer 1

The dialogue in this excerpt from Susan Glaspell's Trifles suggests that the attorney believes women are incapable of plotting.

'Oh, I guess they're not very dangerous things the ladies have picked out '.

• In the play Trifles by Susan Glaspell, we see in the 20th century the perspective on women of men is still dictated by negative stereotypes and gender discrimination.

• The county attorney is skeptical of women's ability to accomplish any task.
• It is quite unbelievable to the county attorney that women can plot any difficult plan and something like a crime.
• Thus, the attorney believes women are incapable of plotting.
