CPL310 10/11/2004 Back to Inherit the Wind Brady: -- made into kind of a prophet -- has a very big ego -- "If it's good enough for Brady, it's good enough for me" -- expert on the Bible, which proves to be his undoing -- self-appointed prophet -- passed up by "progress"/technology (radio station/national press) -- his death is foreshadowed -- heat (historically true), desire for food, loses argument with Drummond during cross examination and then is ridiculed (this is not historical) Drummond: -- "Right to think" is on trial -- the law (banning teaching of evolution) is on trial -- seen by the people as a devil -- likes "progress" (page 93) -- birds lose their wonder (like the anti-fairy tale in Woyzeck) -- God plagues us with the power to think (see Prologue to Faust) -- page 109 Golden Dancer; that's all I ever need and I'll be happy; that's like Faust giving up striving -- at the end Drummond picks up Darwin and the Bible, weighs them in his two hands and puts them both in his satchel -- when Drummond talks about things, he's announcing and explaining what the action on the stage shows Hornbeck -- Mephisto-type -- horns = devilish; beck = beckoning -- speaks in verse kind of; his lines don't go all the way across the page -- sneers politely; wonderful contempt (opposites) -- page 33: he's pure extremes and cynical and still paradoxical opposites -- later he's eating an apple and makes puns on the creation story Cates -- points out that even if creation took longer than 7 days it's still a miracle -- page 54: Cates was just asking questions; he wants the right to think; he's "Scientific Man" Rachel: -- torn between her father and Cates, between her traditional faith and the new ideas</plaintext><br /></body></html>
