Trivial – adjective

Definition: of little worth or importance

Found in: “ The story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin

Passage: “ she did not stop to ask if it were or were not a monstrous joy that held her. A clear and exalted perception enabled her to dismiss the suggestion as trivial”

After understanding that the word mean of little importance I understand that this passages is trying to say that Ms. Mallard was so happy about the freedom that she just gained after her husband death that she didn’t bother to question whether the joy that she was feeling was normal or not.
