Explain the conflict between juror 8 and juror 3

The main conflict between the two is that juror Number 8 did his homework and juror Number 3 is basing his verdict on the fact that he doesn't give any slack to those from the lower class because he simply doesn't like them. But one of 3's biggest problems is that he wants the deliberation over.

Example:

Juror #8 says that the boys would never yell, "I'm going to kill you."

Juror #3 later attacks #8 because he's irritated he's keeping them there. Juror #3 yells in anger, "Let me go, I'll kill him, I'll kill him!." (at #8) To which, #8 says soemthing like "you really didn't mean that, did you?"

Juror 8 thinks that they should discuss the crime before they decide the final verdict. Juror 3 however, is certain the boy is quilty based on his own pre-judice.

Basicly Juror 8 is the postive for the boy and Juror 3 is the negative. Like the answer from Laura C... 3 has prejudice and 8 is impartial

Yes in my humble and personal opinion in response to the question posed, I feel the conflict is clearly based off two very different and outspoken individuals clashing as the main ringleaders of the guilty and not guilty voters in the jury. Juror 3 clearly feels that the lower class should be given a fair vote, amnd that the evidence shoukld be reviewed before coming to a verdict, however juror 8 is extremely in favour of getting it over and done with and voting not guilty, as he has already reveiwed the evidence himself prior to the commencement of the discussion, and wishes not to have to walk through 'these idiots' why he is not guilty. juror 3 is angered by this, as he feels that everyone should review the evidence and to come to a fair and unanimous decision. As they go through tghe evidence, juror 3 slowly starts to pick apart the pieces of evidence, and presents to the rest of the jury a crucial piece of information implying the boy was responsible for the killing. There was only ever three types of the switch knife used ever sold, 2 of them where the shop used to be based in North Sacramento, meaning that the switch knife that the boy bought must have been the one used, unless the killer came all the way from Sacramento and the boy had a replica switch knife. Eventually in frustration and anger, juror 8 reluctantly votes guilty when he is left 11v1 at the end of the play.

I am an english teacher in Surrey in London, and I highly reccomend using this answer in your exams, in your own words of course, as it is the way I have taught my class, and aftert finding a lot of false info and poor notes on this brilliant play, I think this could be of great use to you.

Thanks for reading.
