    There is nowhere else where you can see different point of views of reality than in a jury room. In Twelve Angry Men, the play is optimistic in the ability for the jury to come together and make the right decisions even if they’re not all doing it for the right reasons. The 12 jurors revolve around the idea of prejudice which is conveyed using the archetype of light vs. darkness, literary devices, and character foil between juror 8 and 3.
