[Solution]Discuss how this lack of awareness affects the relationships of the characters in Glaspell’s Trifles. 

In Susan Glaspell’s play Trifles, the lack of awareness among characters has a direct effect on their relationships. Women are viewed as mere “trifles” and men are seen as superior in this era; thus, there is an underlying tension that exists between genders throughout the entire play. Moreover, there seems to be a disconnect between the two groups of characters: on one side we have Mr. Hale and Mr. Peters representing the male majority and on the other side we have Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters representing the female minority; each group holds different understandings of what happened in Wright’s home which further aggravates any potential relationships between them.

Discuss how this lack of awareness affects the relationships of the characters in Glaspell’s Trifles.

The men view women simply as trifles whereas they think highly of themselves; such beliefs limit their understanding of how women respond to certain situations or why they act certain ways around them; hence, it becomes difficult for them to empathize with women or connect with them on an emotional level which lead to mistrust or unacceptance among genders in this play specifically because they do not understand one another’s perspectives nor can relate with each other due to lack of awareness about one another’s feelings, creating tensions not only within but also outside gender divide itself—such interactions become strained, leading to awkwardness whenever characters try interacting with each other even when being polite—an example being when Mr. Hale initially attempts at conversing with Mrs. Peters but fails miserably due to his own gender biases where he thinks she knows nothing about housework/farming/etc., failing him ultimately from forming meaningful connections with her (even if it was through superficial conversations).

Another instance where ignorance has its part is revealed during Mrs. Wright’s trial–Mr. Hale questions her actions very harshly albeit indirectly by saying that she should’ve taken better care of her husband instead of letting him suffer all alone–this statement implies how unaware he is towards actual conditions married women had lived under during those times (which did not give many options); here again obliviousness from both sides creates misunderstandings making it hard for anybody involved reach conclusions without taking into account various parts related issue itself like cultural norms etc., thus leading us back square one—lack knowledge creating more doubts than clarity amongst people who live within same society yet fail recognize commonalities found between themselves being human beings first before anything else!

Moreover, this conscious disregard for anything pertaining womanhood results failure acknowledge basic respect shown towards female counterparts which eventually hinders any kind progress made towards achieving proper understanding amongst both genders since trust cannot exist without mutual respect present either direction—an example being how men continue treat Mrs.’s presence almost non-existent while searching evidence inside Wright’s home which makes it harder these ladies contribute investigation process due prejudice already attached upon entering room: male officers assume something useful won’t come out their mouths so automatically shut down any ideas coming through regardless if truth lies within or not just because they don’ fully comprehend importance what might mean someone belonging opposite sex rather than themselves! This absence recognition also holds true even after discovery bird cage containing dead canary covered cotton fiber––newsworthy detail goes unnoticed until mentioned by Mrs.’s proving once again complete dismissal anything relating feminine identity ends up costing everybody involved including protagonists themselves since clues pointing murderer were right front all along had roles been reversed would’ve likely solved case much sooner than later…
