The two different versions of Trifles are very different even though they tell the same story. The play written version has more dialogue which gives you a better insight into the characters, but you have to read critically to get everything in the story. In the novel version it can plainly say something about the characters or what is going on in the story, and uses literary devices such like metaphors. In the novel version, all of the actions and descriptions are very succinct and to the point. In the novel style you can have more insight into the characters through the descriptions of their actions or their thoughts. I think the novel version lends itself more easily to cultural and historical analysis because of the information inside the text, and the way it is presented in the writing style.
