Update: This is the 3-act adaptation by Sherman Sergel, and is vastly inferior to the 2004 2-act version of this play, which is entirely by the original Reginald Rose. As a story, it's okay. As a script, blah! 15 men (so impossible to cast), and nothing but talking, talking, talking. For your average community theatre, and the average actor, it will go over like a lead balloon. I plan on reading the book to see if its any better.
i liked how it showed what happen in courtThe 19 year old is "guilty" of kill his father.Put 12 jury people try to prove he is guilty or not guilty.With different emotions for the jury they don't really agree to much til the end.
This has been a favorite play of mine since I first read it back in the 7th grade. It's a powerful play that raises some very important questions about racism, justice, and innocence. It's gripping and engaging and translates perfectly into text, which I feel most plays struggle to do. This is entirely because of the characters. Though there are twelve of them, they all seem complex and original. None of them fade into the background, or seem hackneyed. Each feels as though they have lived long
Damn good story. I liked what the movie did with juror 3.
This play is simply powerful. The entire story takes place inside a jury room, as twelve jurors decide the fate of a teenage boy accused of stabbing his father. The individual characters represent a broad range of men, and the shifting relationships among them as various questions are raised keep the action moving swiftly throughout. I'm not certain that I understand exactly what happened at the very end of the written play, and the movie version gives it a slightly different twist on it so it's...
It was pretty good. I don't think there was enough evidence to convict the boy not gulity.
It's a quick read. Find out for yourself! Best part is, my 10th graders loved it, too!
This play was very slow in the beginning, but by Act 2 I was really invested in the story. It made me think about what I would have done in that situation, and it was a thought provoking play if there ever was one! I really enjoyed it.
I actually read this soooo many times in the past couple months because I was working on this show at my school:) It's good and the story changes directions multiple times which makes it interesting:)
I decide to read Twelve Angry Men because my school had performed the play a few years ago. My teacher had it in her library so I thought I’d give it a try. I really like plays, so I thought it would be really interesting to read it as a book.Twelve Angry Men is a three-act play about a jury who must determine if a man is guilty of murdering his father. The jury begins as 11-1 and only one man thinks he is not guilty, so they must discuss. He convinces the jury and people slowly start to turn to...
Gud. (phonetic)
Obra indispensable per entendre com funcionem psicològicament (argumentació circular i biax de confirmació sense adonar-nos), quan ens donen poder, com els prejudicis i vivències afecten els judicis i les decisions que prenem. I com ens afecta i com actuem quan el judici que havíem pres en un inici és erroni (dissonància cognitiva). Aquesta obra és dels anys 50 i tot i que sembla arcaica, pels personatges que surten, com actuen i parlen i la societat on viuen, és tot plegat molt contemporani pel...
Super intense!
I have read this play numerous times and taught it in a freshman English class, and I always come back to its understated brilliance. Plus, Juror Number Eight is one of my heroes from fiction. [Read 3 times]
This is the classic jury drama, and it reveals human nature in all its permutations. It also highlights how different jurors attempt to win support for their opinion. This was another play taught to death in school. I don't remember reading it at the time, only watching the movie. I'm sure the book is better!
i didnt like this book to much. there is a court case that the 12 men have to decide if the boy is guilty or not. there is a lot of tention between them all and some of the men just want to say hes guilty and leave but others really dont think thats the way it should go and it takes a very long time to decide, guilty or not guilty.
I not only read this, I played the part of the last jury to capitulate. My son broke my heart and I was going to take it out on this kid. They're all no good. In the end, when every one was against me, I caved in. This was pure drama. Loved it!
I enjoyed this so very, very much.
This was surprisingly.. good. I actually enjoyed the story, the characters, and their development as Juror Eight influenced them.
Definitely not my favorite book I’ve read for school but far from the worst.
