Deciphering In 12 Angry Men

In the screenplay, 12 Angry Men, there are 12 jurors on trial deciphering whether a boy is guilty of murder or not, which causes the mood in the play to be tense. First, the text says that all of the jurors are fighting, because juror 8 was the only one that voted not guilty, and the rest voted guilty. This shows that the mood is tense because all of the jurors were screaming and yelling at one person, while the foreman was trying to calm them down (Page 27). Next the text says that all of the jurors re voted to see where they were at, and the vote was 6 for guilty and 6 for not guilty. This evidence shows that the mood is tense, because now that there is an equal amount of votes for each side this causes a lot more chaos, fighting, and tension
