12 Angry Men Act 1

In 12 Angry Men, I can see the relation between Juror #8 and Atticus.  He is like Atticus because in the situation they are presented, the socially accepted answer is the opposite of what their peers believe.  It looks like the side they are fighting for will lose, but they will still fight for their cause because they want to show that they are giving the accused a fair shot.  Also, I have seen similar characteristics in Juror #3 and Bob Ewell.  They are similar because they are using basic stereotypes and they are using it to get a guilty verdict.  They are very stubborn and it is easy for them to get their peers to see their side, but it is not always right.
