Reader’s Journal: Character Sketch of Female Character in “Trifles”
The purpose of the Reader’s Journal is to provide you with a place to explore ideas, discuss reading, and ask questions about the texts you read for this course. The reader’s journal will ask you to reflect on the readings for the week with questions as prompts, but your response does not need to be in essay format. If it makes more sense to provide a bulleted list or outline, please do so. The language style in the reader’s journal can be more informal than your other writing assignments, but please be sure to use academic terms and ideas from the reading to support your ideas. When referring to the “events of the story”, call it “plot” so as to familiarize yourself with the academic vocabulary of literature.
Assignment Instructions
Using your observations powers as a discerning reader, come up with a character sketch of one of the main female characters in "Trifles" (that is, a description of her strong and weak qualities, with two examples of each). Support each one with quotes or paraphrases from the play, and quote the location in which the quote is found (line number).
Discuss how the setting, slow retelling of what happened, and the tone of the play impact the characterization of this character.
