What is the knife (Act I)? What is the sound of the train is too loud to hear the boy yell? What is that the elderly man could not walk to the door in 15 seconds as he said? What is that the woman who looked out the window wore bifocals?
This juror sees people not as individuals, but as groups with all the same faults and problems and unethical choices.
Who is juror number 10?
There are two climaxes in this play; name one.
What is the knife being produced at the end of Act I as the first cause of reasonable doubt? What is Juror Number 3 lunging at Juror Number 8 screaming, "I'll kill him!" at the end of Act II?
This is what the jurors do to figure out whether or not the defendant is guilty or not guilty.

or What is Justice is fragile?
This is what the jury does that causes the accused to go home a free man.
What is acquit?
This is a reason that explains why Juror Number 3 is so angry and bitter.
What is that he feels guilt and shame over the way he treated his own son? He fears his son might hate him also. He wants to seek punishment for his own son for what happened in the past.

What is they are all stereotypes.
