Question

Read the excerpt from part one of Trifles.

County Attorney: How did she seem to feel about you coming?

Hale: Why, I don’t think she minded—one way or the other. She didn’t pay much attention. I said, "How do, Mrs. Wright, it’s cold, ain’t it?" And she said, "Is it?"—and went on kind of pleating at her apron. And then she—laughed. I guess you would call it a laugh.

How does this dialogue further develop the idea that Mrs. Wright may have had a motive for killing her husband?

Answer 1

Answer:

It suggests that she did not care about his death.

Explanation:

Mrs. Wright replied in a very strange manner to the question of Mrs. Hale. She laughed and ignored much of the question asked to her. Also, in this excerpt, the word 'cold' symbolizes the fear or hard feelings. Mrs. Wright laughter is symbolic that the emotional attachment was the thing which lacked in the couple's life. She didn't lament the death of her husband rather laughed in a tough tone.
