Trifles
In my own opinion, in this drama the Sheriff and County attorney is the men who is always thinks that they are right in everything they do and ignore small things that can be an important evidence also they did not try to accept women opinion. Meanwhile, women is more practically a good observer and more clever than them,they discover an important evidence in this cases, they went through everything including a small things and they found it.
Q4 : What do the men discover? Why do they conclude "Nothing here but kitchen things"? What do the women discover?

WILLIAM
SHAKESPEARE
William
Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564, in Stratford-on-Avon. The son of John
Shakespeare and Mary Arden, he started his education at the King Edward IV
Grammar School in Stratford, where he learned Latin and a little Greek and read
the Roman dramatists. At eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway, a woman seven or
eight years his senior. Together they raised two daughters Susanna, who was
born in 1583, and Judith whose twin brother died in boyhood born in 1585.
For his career,
Shakespeare was regarded as the foremost dramatist of his time, evidence
indicates that both he and his contemporaries looked to poetry, not
playwriting, for enduring fame. Shakespeare's sonnets were composed between
1593 and 1601, though not published until 1609. Nearly all of Shakespeare's
sonnets examine the inevitable decay of time, and the immortalization of beauty
and love in poetry.
Shakespeare
wrote more than 30 plays. These are usually divided into four categories:
histories, comedies, tragedies, and romances. His earliest plays were primarily
comedies and histories such as Henry VI and The Comedy of Errors, but in 1596,
Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet, his second tragedy and over the next dozen
years he would return to the form writing the plays for which he is now best
known, Julius Caesar, Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, and Antony and
Cleopatra. In his final years, Shakespeare turned to the romantic with
Cymbeline, A Winter's Tale, and The Tempest.
Only eighteen of
Shakespeare's plays were published separately in quarto editions during his
lifetime a complete collection of his works did not appear until the
publication of the First Folio in 1623, several years after his death.
Nonetheless, his contemporaries recognized Shakespeare's achievements. Francis
Meres cited "honey-tongued" Shakespeare for his plays and poems in
1598, and the Chamberlain's Men rose to become the leading dramatic company in
London, installed as members of the royal household in 1603.
