I thought the play Trifles was interesting due to the simple fact that Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters chose not to turn Mrs. Wright in. Being able to relate to someone and put yourself in their shoes can trigger a powerful emotion in everyone. Mrs Hale was able to understand what Mrs.Wright's life was like and in return she felt sorry. I think this play highlights how and why the truth can be covered but it also shows a contrast to my previous post about Overtones. These women stuck together and did not want to see Mrs. Wright, a woman just like them, suffer even though killing is against the law. Thats the power of feeling someone else's pain. It will change the way you look at them.

I completely agree with you. It is very powerful to put yourself in someone else's shoes and understand what they're going through
