Answer:

The accepted understanding that Mrs. Hale was too busy with her own home and children to stop for a visit.

Step-by-step explanation:

The play "Trifles" by Susan Glaspell revolves around the story of how a woman was accused of murdering her own husband. Despite the men unable to find any credible evidence, the woman, Mrs. Wright was put in prison. The play is a critique of society where women were deemed to be irrelevant and pose no real importance in the patriarchal society.

The theme of how women often find it hard to fulfill their own desires is shown in the very life of Mrs. Hale who was so preoccupied with her own home life and looking after the children that she didn't have the time to visit Mrs. Wright. Her busy schedule looking after the house and children shows just how women were treated and expected to do, confined only within the frame of household work and not being part of the outside work like the men are.
