12 Angry Men Vocabulary--test Friday
At the beginning of the trial the judge tells the members of the jury that it is there responsibility to "separate the facts from the fancy." How does one do that? Jury 10 says that it's possible to overthink these things and that they all know, deep down, that the boy is guilty. The point of the play is that we must think through these things if we are to come to just decisions or sometimes innocent people are sent to the electric chair. And yet, there is a decent chance that if the jury in this play acquits the boy (let's him off), they will be letting a dangerous criminal go. Tough decision, huh?
