As the characters develop we find that she is not in fact the unimportant‚ nameless character we first perceive her as‚ but rather she is a relatively complex one‚ with much more to her than we first gather‚ causing us to feel sympathy for her later in the novel.

However‚ as a reader‚ it is critical to conclude that it was written for at least two solid purposes instead of assuming a vast assortment of insignificant reasons that may not make sense. In my opinion‚ Reginald Rose’s purpose for writing Twelve Angry Men was to portray that even in the judicial system‚ it is almost impossible to avoid the idea of mob mentality and bias because of personal experience and the prejudice of others

‘How does Priestley show that tension is at the heart of the Birling Family?’ Tensions in the Birling household are shown from the beginning of the play. The house is described as “not cosy and homelike” which represents the cold and unfriendly atmosphere; these characteristics very much reflect the family itself.
