the ironical instance in the above passage is that the men believed the women are incapable of discovering anything of substance when, in fact, they are the ones who discover evidence.

the play “trifles” by susan glaspell deals with the issues of the women. the identity of a woman is mocked by the men in the play who believe a woman can only be recognized by her husband’s identity. the female characters in the play are named by their husband’s name. the moment when mrs. hale and mrs. peters understood the murder mystery, they decided to hide the evidence. when the ladies were knotting the quilt their husbands gave a mocking remark at them that women can never be out from their household chores. but the ladies had discovered the evidence of the murder. the evidence was the pet bird who was killed the same way as mrs. wright's husband. hence, they concluded with the idea to hide the evidence to rescue mrs. wright as she was the suspect of her husband’s murder.
