In part two of Trifles, the image which most reinforces the theme of loneliness that exists throughout the play is the broken hinge on the door of the birdcage.

The correct option is D.

The object which has been used as a symbol in the play “Trifles” is the bird. The bird is the representation of Mrs. Wright who is pretty, lovely and shy. The birdcage represents the trap in which Mrs. Wright was trapped in after her marriage. As it is very difficult for a bird to escape from the cage and fly in freedom, in the same way, it was very difficult for Mrs. Wright to escape from the inescapable thread of marriage. In the one-act play “Trifles,” Susan Glaspell has highlighted many of the important ills of the society that a woman had to face. She speaks about all the above-mentioned themes in her play. The discrimination that a woman faces in this male-centric society which leads her to the world of isolation is the main theme of the play.
