Upon recommendation I watched a recorded version of the play of 12 Angry Men
The whole play revolves indeed around how one man stands up for his personal opinion against a mob and slowly but surely convinces one after the other to change their opinion. It is very interesting in the dynamics and how the different characters behave.
here is the list of characters
Juror # Character
1/The Foreman The jury foreman, somewhat preoccupied with his duties; proves to be accommodating to others. An assistant high school football coach. Tends to attempt to prevent heated arguments.
2 A meek and unpretentious bank clerk who is at first domineered by others but finds his voice as the discussion goes on.
3 A businessman and distraught father, opinionated and stubborn with a temper; the antagonist
4 A rational stockbroker, unflappable, self-assured, and analytical
5 A soft-spoken young man from a violent slum, in the book a Milwaukee Brewers fan, in the movies and on Broadway, a Baltimore Orioles fan
6 A house painter, tough but principled and respectful
7 A salesman, sports fan, superficial and indifferent to the deliberations
8 An architect, the first dissenter and protagonist. Identified as "Davis" at the end
9 A wise and observant elderly man. Identified as "McCardle" at the end
10 A garage owner; a pushy and loudmouthed bigot
11 A thoughtful German watchmaker and naturalized American citizen
12 A wisecracking, indecisive advertising executive

Twelve Angry Men is a drama written by Reginald Rose concerning the jury of a homicide trial. The play concerns the deliberations of the jury of a homicide trial. At the beginning, they have a nearly unanimous decision of guilty, with a single dissenter of not guilty, who throughout the play sows a seed of reasonable doubt.
The whole play revolves indeed around how one man stands up for his personal opinion against a mob and slowly but surely convinces one after the other to change their opinion. It is very interesting in the dynamics and how the different characters behave.
