In fact, throughout the entire film, it is probably Davis’s amicable nature as well as cool reasoning that most persuades the jury members. He approaches the case in a naive style. He uses the phrase, “what if...” and “it might be possible” when he presents his ideas. He does not try to force his opinions on the other jurors; instead he just wants to understanding the reasoning behind their guilty verdict. Another example of a power tactic used by Davis is bargaining.
12 Angry Men-Test written Regardless of our backgrounds or daily life people still try to do the right thing. Two characters from two completely different stories both show trying to do the right thing. Mrs. Jones and juror 8 are similar and different in many ways. Even though Mrs. Jones and juror 8 have much in common they are different in several ways. Juror 8s personality in a brief description is thoughtful and assertive.
Juror 7 saved the whole process himself by being open to new ideas and questioning what he knew. Not only did Juror Number 7 save the argument of Juror Number 6, his attention to detail and his observation skills ended up helping to convince the rest of the men that the defendant may not be guilty. Juror 7 noticed the indents on the face of Juror Number 3, due to his glasses, and along with the rest of the panel pieced together that the woman who observed the murder most likely wore glasses. They concluded that she was probably not wearing them at night due to fact that they are uncomfortable and painful. They made the conclusion based on his facts that the information from the
He is by nature a very kind and regarding man, but for this case, he has to put aside his character, and be as lawyer-like and vicious as possible «His voice had lost all its comfortableness, he was speaking in his arid, detached professional voice». He acts in a really cold way towards Mayella «Let her cry if she wants to, Judge. We've got all the time in the world.» Atticus first asks Mayella some background questions to show the jury what kind of family she comes from. It shows he is a good lawyer and knows how to handle things He is considered by all Maycombians as a good man and excellent lawyer, but Mayella is scared of him «Don't want him doing to me what he did to Papa, tryin' to make him out left-handed», so the judge turns it into a bit of a joke « Big bad Mr Finch ». He gets absolutely passionate when enacting his work as a lawyer : « He emphasised his words by tapping his knuckles on the table » and really invests all his energy in this case.
However, this problem is tricky as no one has ever challenged Mazey due to his expert and position power, making the situation more complex and difficult to resolve. Frazer’s Options Frazer has three options he can choose from. He can find a way to compromise with Mazey, say nothing and learn to work around Mazey’s behavior like his peers, or quit and find another job. All of these options require careful consideration as each can result in a negative outcome. The best option that is most suitable for this problem would be to find a way for Mazey and the subordinates in Hudson to compromise.
In fact, it is this dynamic on which the trial-by-jury system relies. At its best, a jury – like any team working together to produce a specified result – will draw on the different personalities, approaches and strengths of each individual team member to achieve a creative abrasion which, in turn, will allow them to produce the “right” (and fair) verdict. When the jury first convenes, eleven of the 12 jurors are convinced of the boy’s guilt (e.g. juror 3 – “this is an open and shut case”): • A minority of the jurors actually seem convinced of the boy’s guilt by virtue of the testimony given in court. • Others are basing their decision on their own deeply rooted prejudices – again others on personal experiences.
According to Peter G. Northouse in his book, Leadership: Theory and Practice”, leadership is a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal. It also states that “Influence is the sine qua non of leadership; without influence, leadership does not exist” (3). Leadership is influence and Juror #8 is a perfect example. He was able to influence his fellow jurors to see as he saw and change the vote to not guilty even though it was a long and arduous process. In the movie, Juror #8 portrays a character that gains respect by others for emerging as a leader.
When Atticus was defending somone or helping someone out he would always put himself forward and do as much as he could. He mad thispoint clear and stayed with it. Though when he was just enjoying his everyday life he seemed to take a step back and be more enclined to be quieter and let people go about their own bussiness. From how Atticus acts, Jem and Scout learn how to deal with people and how to act around them. He teaches them how to address people politely and how to show respect towards others.
Atticus moves on in exercising pathos in his speech by highlighting the reality that the jury has a significant task to follow. In reminding the jurors of this essential duty, Atticus tries to give them a sensation of nobility that they ought to do the same for Tom Robinson. The technique used by Atticus to manipulate the jury’s feelings as well as convincing them is an exemplar of pathos since pathos necessitates the use of sentiment in an effort to convince the audience. Taking a look into this scenario, it becomes clear that people in the society always try to defend themselves as being quite good but their immoral aspects are far worse than you ever thought. Atticus argues that Tom is indeed a good person and does not deserve to be
That being said, Shakespeare has given each character their fair share of attributes that are certainly repugnant, and therefore only making the above statement partially true. The men of the story are all characterised as the leaders of their society who dominate the women in their lives. They are bigoted and manipulative in their own ways; however they still manage to maintain calm and measured exteriors. A prime example of this type of male in 'Othello' is Iago. Iago, to everyone else, seems like an honest and good man who will do everything in his power to help those around him succeed, but is really just power-hungry, two-faced and manipulative.
