Moral Law in Trifles
Throughout history it is shown that wo workforce have been looked down upon by workforce. They have been considered inferior to the opposite rouse and even as a form of property. Trifles take place in 1916 where the rights of women ar yet to be stated a place that is ruled by the paterfamilias, the men. Only men knew what was right, only men knew what was best for their families. Men criticized women a lot and do fun of them.Men do not understand the difficulty of these duties and the hard working(a) hours that are needed to keep a farmhouse and or a family levelheaded and well organized. Women just make their lives look easier by cooking, cleaning and care for their children. Although today, we are not burdened with this struggle of being physically and emotionally abused by men, women in the early 1900s struggled to break emancipate from this mold formed by society.In the Trifles this type of living made lively, singing, sharp Minnie Wright turn into a mentally disturbed, cold and routine robot by and by she married her husband, Mr. Wright. However, in the play women are far from being decorative. They actually show greater strength than the surrounding men. As the men went on a higher floor to investigate what happen to the husband, the women stays down stairs. They were able to look at the scene and pay attention to the details which lead them to un tiptop the clues that Mrs.Wright bump off her husband. At that time before the men came downstairs, the women hid the examine and did not sample Mrs. Wright for her action. I can only say that moral arbitrator prevailed and that natural law should not be so strict in some cases because in that respect are more psychological aspects in a human mind. The women hid the evidence as an act of compassion for Mrs. Wright. Stealing the box with the dead snort is an act of loyalty to their gender and of defiance against a callous antiquated society.A murder case like this at that particular time was a shocking thing to solve because it involved tiny details that men could not understand or view without the help of women. Details that are presented in women lifestyle, Mrs. Peter and Mrs. Hale was able to relate to Mrs. Wright to the murder of the cleaning of her husband. This conflict is the moral justice versus the legal justice meaning that justice can be based on what somebody conscience counsel what is right or wrong, rather than on what that strict law says to be done.Although Mrs. Peters was hesitating about the decision of hiding the evidence, she knew it was the right thing to do. The women understand the moral law and the Sheriff Hale and the County Attorney represented legal justice. In this world women have always been treated second best by men and like they were never good enough for careers outside of the home. The sex of a person should not determine what type of job a person should have. Due to those facts the women in Trifles stood by each other to cover Mrs. W right tracks
