As we’ve discussed, Trifles takes the form of a classic murder mystery. The characters, to varying degrees, try to solve the murder of Mr. Wright although they focus on different things and use different techniques. By the end of the play, it’s clear that the women–with their focus on trifles– solve the murder while the men are still left clueless.
In this essay, you’re going to analyze the characters’ use of logic (or misuse of logic when you identify logical fallacies) to explain (pick one): why the women were able to solve the murder OR why the men were unable to solve the murder.
Requirements:
● At least 1750 words
● Argumentative thesis statement in last position of first paragraph
● Analysis of logic, which may include premises, syllogisms, and logical fallacies
● Quotations with parenthetical citations using MLA style
● Header with name, date, class and final word count
Note: Failure to meet the minimum word count will count as a failure to complete the assignment.
Your essay will be graded on (1) the strength of argument, (2) the specificity of your thesis, and (3) your use of textual evidence (this includes your selection of quotes and your analysis of them).
In addition to writing your essay, you are required to include a self-reflection.
