12 Angry Men
Josiah Bont- to what degree should he be excused given his own history of abuse (200 words)
Are men capable of anything extraordinary--- do they have emotional capacities
Who is the juror who most disappoints you
Juror 7 is disappointing because he selfishly wants to go to the ball game. Initially he believes that the judgement will be made rapidly and he becomes increasingly frustrated when it is evident that the vote won’t be unanimous. The disappointing aspect is that he has a voice but lacks any reasoning, dismissive of logic in preference to a speedy outcome. Some may suggest that he is simple, but he is so caught up in his own world that he refuses to see or acknowledge the emotional needs of others. He may well offer chewing gum to those around, but the reality is he has no real concern for the needs of others. He is blinded by the immediate, unable to see beyond his own needs. It is disappointing that he is depicted as the man on the street, the knock about bloke off to the ball game who is largely inoffensive. Yet his apathy is offensive as it presents a narrow world where people do not care for others.

Which juror is most pitied?
Which juror is most changed as a result of the trial?
