and Mrs. Wright live in a society that is cut off from the outside world; similarly Miss Emily Grierson is isolated from the town of Jefferson. According to what is written in Trifles Mr. and Mrs. Wright where isolated from the town; their house was situated in a hollow; therefore, not much of it could be seen from outside the hollow. The Wright’s house was described as creepy and an unhappy place by the towns people.

While Paul lives in an ordinary, active neighborhood, he does not really participate socially.

These texts suggest that it is often after experiencing different barriers in life that an individual can come to value and seek a true sense of belonging. Billy in “the simple gift” is the leading character, whose father is violent, careless and an alcoholic and has an absent mother, was never given the acceptance and love of how it felt to belong to someone.

How is anyone to feel connected when they much live with a foul personality? “He was a hard man” (Glaspell 181); “Like a raw wind that gets to the bone” (Glaspell 181). He gave his wife a dispirited sense of being. She probably felt smothered by his bleak nature and with the fact that the farmhouse was too isolated for anyone to want to visit, Mrs. Wright was left alone.
