Another obvious difference is the title. The play's title Trifles is more subtle, whereas the short story's title "A Jury of Her Peers" basically reveals two major themes from the start: feminist community ("her Peers") and legalism ("Jury"). Trifles is wonderfully ironic: it is what the men think of women's work. As such, its title better reveals the little things (the clues and subtext), which drives this psychological play.
