Both Trifles and “A Jury of Her Peers” follow the same storyline about Mrs. Wright’s murder of her husband. Each text is nearly identical, with just a couple differences thanks to the genre change.
In Trifles, the audience must infer the thoughts of the characters based on their words, actions, and body language, since one cannot literally read a character’s thoughts while watching a dramatic performance.
In “A Jury of Her Peers,” Glaspell is able to intimate the internal thoughts of the characters, giving the reader a clearer picture of their states of mind. This clearer picture also applies to the setting and characters, since a traditional prose medium allows for more description than a drama usually contains. This allows Glaspell to emphasize the purposeful choices Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale make in concealing the evidence against Mrs. Wright.
