comment
Trifles is a one-act play by Susan Glaspell, where an attorney, George Henderson, and a sheriff, Henry Peters, go to investigate the death of a local man by the name of John Wright.The men and their wives go to the Wrights' farmhouse and find John's wife, Minnie, acting a little off. According to her, when Lewis Hale questioned her, she fell asleep and she awoke to find out that someone strangled her husband.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Glaspell adapted her play into a 1917 short story titled "A Jury of Her Peers." The story was made into an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and also into a 1980 short film, A Jury of Her Peers.

Adaptation Expansion: An odd case of this, as the A Jury of Her Peers adds more details that weren't seen in the original play.

Break the Cutie: Minnie has gone through this as she was happy before her marriage, but her marriage to John effectively turned her into a shell of what she used to be.

Animal Motifs: Minnie is associated with birds, as, it's mentioned she was, for all intents and purposes, free and happy (along with that, she loved to sing) before her marriage to John. Tying into this, the dead bird could easily represent how the Minnie from years ago has been "killed" by her marriage.
