  1. In Susan Glaspell’s Trifles , it appears that the ways in which language is used by male and female characters to bring order to experience are very different. Discuss, with reference to Glaspell and one other author on this part of the course.

From whence is this unjust distinction grown? Are we not formed with passions like your own? Nature with equal fire our souls endued, Our minds as haughty, and as warm our blood; O’er the wide world your pleasures you pursue, The change is justified by something new; But we must sigh in silence—and be true.
