Character Development In Juror's Twelve Angry Men
Twelve Angry Men is a very successful literary work even without everything that makes a good play. There are 12 main characters whose names are never said, stuck in a single room discussing the life of a man the reader knows nothing about. There is still a large amount of character development, which allows us to learn a lot about the jurors. Even though the trial is not in the play, the reader is able to figure out all the key points from it. While the entire play takes place in one room, the author is able to transform that room and allow all the necessary actions for the play to occur.
There are only twelve main characters in the entire play whose names we never learn. Despite that fact, there is a large amount of character development and the reader is able to learn lots about each juror.

The play is never boring and when it is all said and done, the reader is left needing answers. Twelve Angry Men is an amazing play and everyone who has read it knows
