1A- Amanda Esteves

Prejudice gets in the way of the truth. In the play, Twelve Angry Men, prejudice is displayed by Juror 10. Juror 10 refers to the the defendant as "those people" meaning that juror 10 is placing all of the troublemakers, and different colored skin people into one category. In Act three, Juror 10 goes on a long monologue explaining how he doesn't understand the other jurors and asking how they could, "this kid is innocent? Look, you know those people lie. I don't have to tell you. They don't know what the truth is. And let me tell you, they -- don't need any real reason to kill someone, either. You know, they get drunk, and bang, someone's lying in the gutter. Nobody's blaming them. That's how they are. You know what I mean? Violent!" (Rose #59). Juror 10 was being prejudice by categorizing the defendant as one of "those people".
