Question

in part two of trifles, which of the following images most reinforces the theme of loneliness that play?
the hollow in which the wright home sat
the box in which the dead bird was found
the partially messy table in the kitchen
the broken hinge on the door of the birdcage

Explanation:

The hollow where the Wright home is located emphasizes isolation. A hollow is a secluded, out - of - the - way place. This physical isolation of the home reflects the emotional and social isolation (loneliness) of the characters, especially Mrs. Wright. The box with the dead bird is more about a symbol of Mrs. Wright's crushed spirit (the bird representing her, dead by her husband's actions). The messy table is a domestic detail that could relate to other themes like neglect but not strongly to loneliness. The broken hinge on the birdcage is about confinement and escape (the bird was confined, now the cage is broken but the bird is dead).

Answer:

the hollow in which the Wright home sat
