    The play Inherit the Wind, was written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee to inform its readers about the injustice of a law that limited the freedom of an ordinary citizen. This play is based upon actual events that happened to an individual, John Scopes, in Dayton, Tennessee during the 1920's. This famous "Monkey Trial" not only allowed people to begin to accept new theories about the origin of man, but also showed that they did not have to limit themselves in other areas of life.…

    In Inherit the Wind, the audience is more apt to cheer for the evolutionists because of their level of intelligence as opposed to that of fundamentalists. The two evolutionists that present the most intelligence include E.K Hornbeck and Henry Drummond. Hornbeck is presented in Act 1, Scene 1 as an atheist newspaper reporter with a sarcastic tone. Although he is sarcastic, his attitude is represented in a humorous light. This allows the audience to favor Hornbeck and his humorous remarks, and compare his intelligence level with that of the townspeople. For example, Elijah (townsperson and “holy man”) asks Hornbeck if he is an…

    The movie Inherit the Wind gave an ample, in depth view as to what the Scopes Trial was all about. The film uses information about the trial and the law it was about, but most times misconstrues that information. The film does give a great perspective as to what the actual trial was all about, but it is not very factual. The movie portrays some in a positive way and others in a negative way, but overall the movie Inherit the Wind get its point across about the Scopes Trial while being extremely inaccurate.…

    When all of his witnesses with science backgrounds are declared irrelevant, Drummond quickly comes up with a plan to make Brady his witness as an expert on the Bible. “All right. I get the scent in the wind. We’ll play in your ball park, Colonel. Now let’s get this straight… This is the book that you’re an expert on?” (p. 87). While a fragrance is not visible, its presence can be felt. Therefore, the “scent in the wind” refers to the implication that the case is already biased against Drummond. Drummond has an ability to think quickly because this is not his original plan. Brady’s “ball park,” an idiom meaning a person’s area of expertise, is the Bible, so in order to prove himself correct, Drummond must show the fallacies of the Bible. Instead of admitting defeat, Drummond creates a new scheme that still proves his argument. As he cross-examines Brady, Drummond brings up a story from the Bible in which Joshua makes the sun stand still. He asks Brady, “If they say that the sun stood still, they must have had a notion that the sun moves around the earth. Think that’s the way of things?... Now if what you say factually happened… the earth, arrested in its orbit, shriveled to a cinder and crashed into the sun. How come they missed this tidbit of news” (Lawrence and Lee 89). Drummond assumes the Bible to be correct so that Brady does not object to him…
