Antigone was a classical tale of morality and moral choice using elevated characters (kings, gods). Now, though we are often faced with moral choices in our daily life, what might be an appropriate forum for making moral decisions in our modern world? Well, ideally, a jury would be a group of ordinary citizens called to duty as servants of justice, called to use their moral sense and perspective to decide an individual's CULPABILITY (guiltiness) in a alleged crime.
In the film 12 Angry Men, we watch as a jury of peers debate and decide the accused's guilt or innocence. It's a modern day moral CRUCIBLE (place in which concentrated forces interact) where characters are forced to reassess their moral foundations and relationships with other human beings.
