Juror #3 plays the role of an antagonist in the story “Twelve Angry Men” and does quite a good job doing so. The reason why I think he plays a good antagonist is because he creates conflict among the jurors, resulting in personal insults and bringing an unrelated past situation as a strong point in his argument. My first example of Juror #3 personally attacking people, on page 33, is by calling the men who believe the kid is not guilty as crazy and that they should not let a boy who grew up in a slum get away with murder. Despite the possibility that the boy may be not guilty if looked at from a different perspective, “You're crazy! Why would he lie? What's he got to gain?” The second instance is on page 40 juror #3 says once again that “you're
12 Angry Men Essay Juror#3 In a crowded jury room in downtown New York, opinions collide as discussion about the innocence of a young boy is decided. The dark and foreboding storm clouds that hang over the heads of the jurors are beginning to lift as time progresses and new facts are presented.

murdering his father. This case consisted of a group of twelve jurors. These twelve jurors had so much about themselves that was alike and in some ways they were all different.

significant sources of prejudice-fuelled conflict stems from Juror 3, the bitter and obstinate juror whose vehement insistence on a guilty verdict is gradually revealed to be rooted in resentments with his own estranged son. Personally, I have also encountered situations where parents with domestic complications get dramatic and are unable to get over their personal barriers and enable them to give judicious judgement to other people. Juror 3’s arrogant condescension towards the defendants as “just another
challenges of the Jury system by using all the jurors' perspectives and ideas in the play. In the play, 12 “angry men,” Reginal Rose uses juror 3 to show the challenges in a jury system by demonstrating the bias people have; however, he also illustrates benefits by showcasing different peoples perspectives.

10 is a dangerous juror in Reginald Rose's play Twelve Angry Men, juror 3 is the most dangerous because he has prejudice towards the defendant and does not listen to other points and evidence. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, justice means conformity to moral right, or to reason, truth, or fact.

between Juror 3 and Juror 8 is that Juror 8 did his job as a juror and Juror 3 is basing his verdict on the fact that he doesn't give any freedom to those from the lower class because he simply doesn't like them. But one of Juror 3’s biggest problems is that he wants the deliberation to be over as fast as possible. When Juror 3 heard all of the evidence he had his mind set just based on his past experience without questioning some of the evidence presented in the case. On the other hand Juror 8 comes
Twelve jurors come in to a stuffy, hot, jury room after listening to a very long trial about a 17 year old boy that is being tried for murder They make small talk before actually discussing the case, one juror mentions how hot it is and another makes a comment on how she never would have known that if she hadn’t told her, which is a very rude sarcastic comment.

Comparison essay comparing Juror 3 and Juror 8 What are some similarities between Jurors 3 and 8? What about differences? Oh gosh, it's been years since I've seen the movie (didn't read the play).
