    1. Each Act takes happens in the same place. The entire play takes place in the jury room of a New York City court of law in 1957 during a very hot summer afternoon. It is a large, dull, minimalistic room with three windows in the brick wall which the skyline of New York City can be seen. There is also a wash room and lavatory off the jury room. There is a large, scarred table in the centre with twelve chairs around it. There are pencils pads and an ashtray on the table. There is also a water cooler in the room with plastic cups. The dullness of the room may signify and provide a mood for the act and is evident in the interactions between the jurors. The Twelve jurors are all seemingly awkward and uneasy towards each other once they enter the room.…

    In Reginald Rose’s Twelve Angry Men a theme explored is how people can misuse the power they have. Set admits the ubiquitous beauty of the New York skyline is a jury room, the arena in which the fate of a young man’s life is decided. 12 jurymen are burdened with the power to decide and must vote unanimously either guilty or not guilty and this forms the precedent for an epic battle. The authority bestowed upon these men is defined by many themes such as the struggle between subjectivity and rationality. One must understand rationality before they can comprehend why it is at the heart of righteous judgement. It is perceived as the sense of ruling that is right or just based on logic. Power conversely can be misused due to one’s own personal bias and prejudices. This is displayed in order to orientate the time period and the underlying social influences. Argument can however counteract the misguided force of bigotry as an agent of truth which is prevents the abuse of supremacy. Rose adapts his characters to these ideals by having them display the concept of active citizenship though there are some exceptions. Through these conceptions a clear perceptiveness of the correct use of power and its protruding factor of rationality will be obtained.…

    Reginald Rose's Twelve Angry Men is a play concerning 12 jury men who experience the difficulties of coming to a unanimous decision regarding a 16 year old murder suspect. In this case the importance of seeing things from more than one perspective is relevant as a young boy's life hangs in the balance. Rose highlights this through Juror 3 and 10's narrow minded views and the ways in which they must be persuaded. Also it is seen by Juror 8, who feels it only right to have each side of the story broken down and discussed thoroughly.…

    Reginald Rose’s play, Twelve Angry Men, is about a jury’s decision making process in a murder trial. The facts in this play become blinded by the prejudices that some Juror’s possess. A prejudice jury became formed due to a biased testimony and the facts became clouded as generalisations were formed by the Juror’s. Some Juror’s bigotry can be based on their past experiences and discrimination didn’t only happen to the defendant, but it was also experienced by Juror’s themselves…

    The movie "12 Angry Men" focuses on a jury's decision on a capital murder case. A 12-man jury is sent to begin decisions on the first-degree murder trial of an 18-year-old Latino accused of stabbing his father to death, where a guilty verdict means an automatic death sentence. The case appears to be open-and-shut: The defendant has a weak alibi; a knife he claimed to have lost is found at the murder scene; and several witnesses either heard screaming, saw the killing or the boy fleeing the scene. Eleven of the jurors immediately vote guilty; only Juror No. 8 (Mr. Davis) casts a not guilty vote. At first Mr. Davis' bases his vote more so for the sake of discussion after all, the jurors must believe beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty. As the movie unfolds, the story quickly becomes a study of the jurors' complex personalities and how they deal with argumentation within groups and critical thinking. This allows Mr. Davis to try and convince the other jury members that the defendant might not be guilty by using cooperative argumentation, claim, evidence, warrant, facts, etc.…

    Pessimism? Depending on the definition that you give to this your answer might be different ... Pessimism infers negativity of some degree. If there is "pessimism" in Rose's message (and I think there is not!), it could be seen in the uncertainty that his description of the jury room process involves - it is not perfect and open to prejudiced manipulation, poor governance and apathy, but concurrently it is also open to a positive dissent that evokes the values that any civilized society governed by democratic processes and laws strives to achieve - a balance between individual and societal justice that allows for difference and for doubt, where the pragmatist might desire expedience and a retributive justice (revenge) as against a restorative justice dependent on a burden of proof provided by the prosecution and the presumption of innocence of the accused.…

    People can change based on the personalities contained in a group. For example, if the personalities in a group are positive and supportive, then each person’s self-esteem is boosted up and he or she will speak his or her mind. However, if the personalities in a group are aggressive or assertive, then each person might be less willing to speak his or her mind and go along with the group. Not only that, but a typical person wouldn’t stand up for something alone. He/she would instead go with the majority of people. In a group of 100 people, each person with his/her opinion, at least 30 % of those 100 would stand up against everyone else.…

    Regarding the lack of relevant background information and assumptions, the jurors give in to rationalization. Ignoring any valid argument that is put forth, they justify their way around it to maintain a guilty verdict. This could also be called denial in that the jurors are ignoring good reasoning.…

    This quote was memorable to me because I saw that the jurors were going to vote not guilty simply because they wanted the trial to be over. They didn’t care if the defendant was guilty or not they just wanted to leave or were tired of arguing. He’s asking that since you were chosen for jury duty , you need to respect that and give the defendant a chance.…

    In the movie 12 Angry Men, the 12 men are jurors in a murder trial, and with an exception of about three minutes, the entire movie takes place in a jury deliberation room. The defendant is an 18 year old boy accused of killing his father, and these men are given the duty of deciding unanimously whether the defendant is innocent or guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Once in the jury room, it is suggested that a preliminary vote be taken – all but one juror give a ‘guilty’ vote. I thought it was interesting to note that when the foreman calls for the guilty vote only six men raise their hands right away; the other five slowly raise their hands after looking around at the others. I think many of the jurors voted guilty out of the pressure to conform – it was a good sized group, it seemed like the vote was going to be unanimous, and they had to answer in front of the others. I’m not sure if this would be compliance or acceptance because they may have thought that they believed in what they were doing, but on the other hand their mind was easily changed later.…

    A moral person does what is right for the group or society as a whole, not what is just right for themselves or one other person at any given point in time. In 12 Angry Men the voice of moral reason is clearly Juror Number 8, who from the beginning is the only “Not Guilty” vote because he believes they should at least talk about the court case of the Puerto Rican boy before they send him ultimately to his death. Juror 8 had integrity; he realized that his own actions shaped who he was and what would happen to the young boy. He was thoughtful in his consideration of the evidence and the case, for he realized that not only were the jurors proving the integrity of the judicial system, but in addition the conscience of the jurors were at stake too. Juror 8 called into question all the evidence, such as the knife, the old man walking to his door, the woman seeing the murder, and proved it all to be circumstantial evidence and not one hundred percent true, that there was reasonable doubt that it did not all go down as stated in court on the night of the murder. A moral person thinks things through, examines them against right and wrong, and doesn’t let their own personal bias get in the way of their decision. They uphold their integrity and realize the severity of the situation, because as they know “a boy may die.”…

    12 Angry Men Analysis

    • 681 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In analyzing 12 Angry Men the first theory that came to mind is the Universal Theory of Leadership. The theory is defined as the belief that certain personal characteristics and skills contribute to leadership effectiveness in many situations. This shows true with Juror #8. Juror #8 was the architect who emerged as a real effective leader. The architect showed self-confidence and assertiveness. He convinced the jury that once all thought the young man was guilty to believing he was innocent due to the lack of proof and questionable assumptions. He showed himself as respectable, knowledgeable, and authentic. The architect rose question as to whether or not the circumstances could be possible by re-enacting the situation. He challenged the process completely by doing this. He was also a leader of integrity because he was loyal to rational principles, practiced what he preached, and did this regardless of the social pressure from fellow jurors’. With these characteristic traits the architect proves to be an charismatic and effective leader.…
