Before reading the play, I watched the 1997 adaptation of it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Reading the play, I received the same feeling of interest and anticipation despite already knowing how the play were to end. Rose challenges various stereotypes and perceptions of individuals, particularly that of the accused in the play, by creating each juror in a way to be distinctively different from one another. The thing I like most about this play, is that Juror 8 has the ability to challenge and question everything, thus moving all of the other 11 to change their vote from guilty to not guilty. Character development holds a very big part in Rose’s play, which I really like. The play displays an insightful demonstration of the jury system whilst conveying the theme of certainty vs doubt, highlighting the real meaning of “beyond reasonable doubt”. Overall, this is most definitely one of my favourite plays of all time.
