Important Note to Students

The HAMLIT assignment page is a convenience but not something to be dependent on. When possible, homework and reading assignments will be posted here, but you are expected to complete all assignments that are announced in class on time, regardless of whether they are posted online. If you are absent, or do not remember if there is an assignment, you will need to contact another member of class to verify what the assignment is. Neither I nor the site are responsible for your failure to complete this responsibility.

Due 3/3

Write a 1 to 1 1/2 page reflection on the play Trifles, by Susan Glaspell. Consider such things as symbolism, gender identity, character motivations, parallel themes, or whatever else strikes your fancy. There is no structure requirement, but maintain a formal academic voice, so no "I" or "you."

A link to the play is available here:

Mr. Wright (dead)
Mrs. Wright (in jail)
Mr. Henderson (attorney-Marcus)
Mr. Hale (Farmer-Mychal)
Mr. Peters (Sheriff-Clayton)
Mrs. Peters (Bridget)
Mrs. Hale (Robyn)
