What is Contrast?

Like a compare and contrast essay, a contrast essay asks you to choose two or more items and ideas and write about them.  However, instead of highlighting similarities between the two things, a contrast essay will describe how they are different.  It is important to note that, in order to have an effective contrast essay, there must be some similarities or shared middle ground between the things being contrasted.  A contrast essay that focused on the differences between a roller skate and the planet Jupiter would contain a lot of contrast, but would be almost incoherent.  However, a contrast essay that focused on the differences in Earth and Jupiter would start from the point where they are similar (planets in the same solar system) and then highlight differences.

First-wave feminism and domestic labor in Susan Glaspell's Trifles
Susan Glaspell's play Trifles is an example of an early feminist text because it focuses on the value of women's labor. In the same way that early feminists were interested in getting society to value the contributions made by women in the domestic sphere, so too is the play interested in demonstrating how women's contributions can lead to more complete knowledge. The women's decision to help the guilty Mrs. Wright in the end is indicative of this complete knowledge, and it leads to a better kind of morality that is only possible with a valuation of women's domestic labor.
