While the two women were working in the kitchen, occupied in the "trivial things," the men repeatedly disappeared in the eyes of the viewers, searching and collecting evidence either upstairs or outside around the house which was absent on thestage. All these details show the opposition between men and women, and especially the isolated and undervalued circumstances of women.
在《琐事》中，作者通过男人们在发现线索的过程中表现的专横和无能进行了讽刺。除了含蓄的表达女权思维，作品真正感人之处在于对人与人之间真情的呼唤上。剧中的冲突一方面表现在男女所处的两个陌生而隔阂世界；另一方面也表现在同性之间的关系上。
Moreover, women's call for change has never stopped. In the drama, Minnie had been mistreated by Mr. Wright, and the two female investigators understand the feelings of being oppressed by men. Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale sympathize with Minnie, and they hide the evidence against Minnie so that she will be spared the punishment for murdering her husband. The action of Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale is indeed a call for change of the patriarchal system of gender which privileges the male over the female.
在通讯和交通不发达的时代，人们缺少顺利沟通的物质条件；然而，在通讯和交通高度发达的今天，人与人之间的交流又面临着机械化的挑战。我们难道不是每天手握着手机看着朋友圈，却觉得反而和朋友们更疏远了呢？我们的心底是否在呼唤人与人之间真正的沟通和真情呢？从这个角度来看，《琐事》所反映出的主题是不受时间地域限制的，这应该才是这部作品成为经典的真正原因吧。
When they discovered the dead canary, they instinctively came to the conclusion: John Wright's strangling of the singing canary, the only companion of the isolated Minnie, also strangled Minnie's last hope. With profound sympathy for Minnie, the women decided to keep the most damning evidence to themselves. The bleak, disordered kitchen of the Wrights was the place where all the actions took place.
More importantly, the kitchen is the representation of men's domination and marginalization of women. The "trifles" the women uncovered became the evidence of Mr. Wright's mastery over his wife. It is clear that Minnie suffered from severe and long-time oppression by her husband. And this oppression directly led to her marginalized, isolated, and oppressed family role, which further led to the murder. Therefore, by revealing the reality of Minnie's plight, the play depicted women's subordinate roles of that time.
Incentives
Discounting does not make sense for Trojan Older Adult Apartments, as the complex
already charges market rents for one- and two-bedroom units. However, our salesperson does
have the authority to offer certain incentives for older adults who want to live in the Trojan
complex. For example, offering relocation assistance may motivate some older adults to move
into the complex faster than they would if they had to coordinate a move on their own. Trojan
will partner with a local moving company to ensure each new resident’s belongings are handled
with care.
Sales Approach
Trojan’s full-time salesperson will use a consultative approach to guide older adults into
making a decision that is right for their circumstances. The salesperson will conduct tours, work
with marketing staff members to organize open house events, and answer questions in a
thoughtful manner. None of our staff members will ever go for the “hard sell” or manipulate
people into choosing Trojan Older Adult Apartments.
