Interpreting Drama Based on Susan Glaspell’s play Trifles (10%)

Submit your assignment on or before the due date specified in the Course Calendar using your last name, first initial and assignment number as a title (e.g. Tilsond A4).

Using a single sentence for each section, explain how the divisions of the play (signaled by the entrance/exit of the men) help to deepen the audience’s awareness of:

Characterization
Plot
Theme
Irony
Setting

As in the previous written assignment, the fact that you are asked to use a single sentence forces you to boil all your ideas down to the single most important idea you have on the subject. This is not an exercise in selection; it is an exercise in refinement.

Evaluation

For each answer you will be given a mark out of 2 based on the following criteria:

Style and Grammar/mechanics (expressed in concise, clear, cogent, and correct prose): 1
Content (relates to the play and is persuasive): 1
One mark will automatically be deducted for each instance in which more than one sentence is used to respond.
