"Red Riding Hood" thematic
statement: A person's virtue is one of the most sacred things a person can possess.
In "Trifles" the
exposition starts off with describing the
house. It describes the house as being dreary and the house is not well
maintained and is warn down. It also mentions Mrs. Wright personality and how
she would act and behave before the accident ever happened. The rising action occurs
when Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale begin reflect the relationship between Mrs. Wright and
her husband and then the County Attorney questions the women. The climax
is when the women end up finding the dead bird in the box which is surprisingly
the same way that her husband died. The falling action is the realization that
Mrs. Wright did indeed kill her husband and she is put into jail. The
resolution is when Mrs. Peters and Mrs. hale try to cover up Mrs. Wright's
purpose and get rid of the dead bird.

I completely agree with your thematic statement for Little Red Ridding Hood and I love that you chose Little Red Ridding Hood for your thematic statement, because that was my first choice. Just to add to your statement though, I do believe that the theme applied directly to woman. It was more that the virtue, innocents and virginity of a woman were to be cherished and kept until marriage. A woman's virtue was the most sacred aspect of one's being that she could posses, and once that virtue was lost she had fallen and was no longer respect, but looked down upon.
