Reactions to "Trifles" & "Sure Thing"

"Trifles"
The significance of this title is that women are always worried about minute litthe things in their day, not always the bigger issue or concern. With the death of her husband, Mrs. Wright is more concerned with her quilting and whether or not her jars of fruit have exploded or not than about her dead husband upstairs.

"Sure Thing"
The significance of this title is that at the beginning of the play, Bill kept saying to Betty, "Sure thing" at the end of the conversation. No matter what Betty said, Bill would reply with, "Sure thing." This shows that he is neither concerned or unconcerned with what Betty thinks of him.


Suggestions about the nature of human relationships:
This tells me that human relationships can be totally different for each person, depending on the situation. Mrs. Hale is more sympathetic towards Mrs. Wright, and Mrs. Peters is suspicious. This could because Mrs. Hale has knowng Mrs. Wright for many years and Mrs. Peters hasn't.

Do you agree or disagree with this message?
I agree with this message. Perception is a huge part of how we see people compared to other people's views.
