Blog 17 Quote-Response “Trifles”


Mrs. Hale: It’s a log cabin pattern.  Pretty, isn’t it? I wonder if she was goin’ to quilt it or just knot it?
Sheriff: They wonder if she was going to quilt it or just knot it!
This spot is such a turning point in the plot of the play.  You see here a line drawn pitting the women against the men.  The Sheriff unwittingly highlights how the men did not view the women as silly and unimportant.  This is the point where the women bond together in solidarity and this eventually includes Minnie Wright.
