who does the bird symbolize?
done

Explanation:

In the play "Trifles" by Susan Glaspell, the bird is a symbol for Mrs. Wright (Minnie Foster). The description of the bird as "sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and fluttery" mirrors Mrs. Wright's personality before her marriage, and the changes in the bird (and by extension, the symbolism) relate to her transformation after marriage. The text directly compares "she" to a bird, so the bird symbolizes Mrs. Wright (Minnie Foster).

Answer:

The bird symbolizes Mrs. Wright (Minnie Foster).
