"Trifles"

I think the theme for the play "Trifles" is revenge. After Mrs.Wright found her sweet, pretty, and fluttery bird dead, she became outraged and took all that anger she had boiling up inside, and kill her husband. Maybe he was verbally, physically, and/or mentally abusive to her. These could be one of her motive and after finding her dead canary was the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

  1. I also believed she not only loved her pet canary but also identified herself in the bird and when she discovered the bird was dead, her spirit died also. Perhaps this threw her in a mental state where she lost touch of what was real.
