can any one help me with this essay

12 angry men is about the impossibility of certainty discuss

yes

point one - through the one of the main character of the play, juror 8, the author draws on the idea that its impossible for one to be absolutely certain about a problem. Through logic and reason he convinces the other jurors that there is room for doubt....

point two - through the resolution of the case (i.e- we never find out if the boy actually did or didnt kill his father) , the author portrays the that we can never be certain about anything, we can only make assumptions based on the information provided.

point three - the term reasonable doubt plays a big role through the entirety of the play. as the progonist, juror 8, creates doubt in the jury room through a thorough analysis of the facts, each juror, one by one starts to doubt the realibility of the facts and change their vote to not guilty, because they are not absolutely sure of the accuseds guilt

POINT FOR NO

- sometimes, we can be certain about things, specifically when we witness it being proven as something that one can rely on or be undoubtful of. eg, juror 8 reconstructing old man testimony.
