Significant event
Well, women are used to worrying over trifles
                                                  Mr. Hale,

  He suggests that men should forgive them for their foibles
  because they are only women and thus deal every day in
  small, unimportant details. Furthermore, his words imply that
  because women deal in trifles, women must also be trifles.
Significant event
But, Mrs. Peters –look at it! It’s neck! Look at it’s neck!
  It’s all—other side to.
                                          Mrs. Hale,

• When gathering up the quilting material, they discover a fancy little
  box. Inside, wrapped in silk is a dead canary. Its neck has been
  wrung. The implication is that Minnie’s husband did not like the
  canary’s beautiful song (a symbol of his wife’s desire for freedom
  and happiness). So, Mr. Wright busted the cage door and strangled
  the bird.
• Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters do not tell the men about their discovery.
  Instead, Mrs. Hale puts the box with the deceased bird into her coat
  pocket – resolving not to tell the men about this little “trifle” they
  have uncovered.
THE END
