There are several major themes in this play. The difference between genders (the women worrying about small 'trifles', the men worrying about the murder; sensitive towards Mrs. Wright vs. concerned about the law) and spousal abuse (Mrs. Wright being smothered by her husband, Mr. Wright's murder when he goes too far) are the two most prevalent ones.

The theme of "Trifles" by Susan Glaspell is that chauvinism mentally cripples men and women, lacking chauvinistic attitudes, are mentally superior to men, chauvinists or not.
