        <description><![CDATA[Let me offer a counterpoint, which may help in formulating your thoughts. In particular I want to challenge the notion that there will always be progress. I think we have been influenced by Darwin's theory of evolution for too long. So, let me begin with a question:
How does one know that there will always be progress? Does not history shows that there are times of stagnation and regression? For example, all empires rise and fall, certain...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There are several questions that have to be addressed here.  Society progresses through the power of thought, according to the play.  In this regard, Drummond's line is a powerful one:  "He wishes to be a sponge."  The critical element in terms of social progress, as defined by Drummond, is the ability for individuals to think and critically evaluate truths for themselves.  This is contrasted to Brady, who believes that society progresses...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Biblical quote holds much in the way of meaning in terms of the meaning of the play.  The passage comes from the Book of Psalms reading, "He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind and the fool shall be a servant to the wise in heart." Brady speaks the quote regarding Bert Cates.  The implication is that the teacher has caused "trouble" in his going against the "established" word of the town.  In the end, Hornbeck recalls...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The full quote is taken from the The Bible, Proverbs chapter 11, verse 9:

He that troubles his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

Essentially, this means that anyone who causes trouble or unrest in his home, his town, or even his country, invites trouble and chaos. And if one is foolish enough to disturb and upset the status quo, the way things are, that person will have to labor long and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There are some distinct choices to this answer.  The most evident would be having to choose between Matthew Brady and Henry Drummond.  The reasons they are both so powerful of oration is that both speak from a fundamentally persuasive point of view.  Brady speaks from a spiritually driven perspective rooted in the traditional interpretation of Biblical ideology.  When analyzing his syntax and content, it is Scripture based, sometimes being...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Hornbeck's impact on the play is to operate as the voice of anti- modernism in America.  In my mind, the play is a great thematic analysis of ideas that rise out of the 1920s.  With its emphasis on consumer culture, mass consumption, and the growth of the celebrity, there was a great deal of faith in the progress evident in American society and the nation, as a whole.  The Cates/ Scopes trial was intended to be the penultimate statement on...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I have just re-viewed this movie twice online.  In the movie "Inherit the Wind," the jury is not punished, unless you consider making them sit in a court room where the temperatures are in the 90's and they are wearing suits.  He eventually allows the men to remove their suit coats.
The judge does however hold Drummond in contempt of court and charges him with 4000.00 bail and remands him to jail overnight.  E. K. Hornbeck, the reporter...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I am not certain that there is a punishment that the judge gives the jury a punishment.  The jury does return a verdict of "Not Guilty" and fines Cates 100 dollars, which Drummond demands will not be paid, suggesting that he will go to the Supreme Court, if necessary to plead his case.  However, there are several examples of judgments that turn into punishments at the end of the play.  Matthew Brady receives the harshest of these judgments...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The title "Inherit the Wind" is an allusion to the Book of Proverbs 11:29 , "He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart." The allusion to this verse has several applications in the play. In Act 2, Scene 1, Reverend Brown "trouble his own house" by alienating his daughter when he gives a fiery sermon against Cates. Brady tells this proverb to Brown, indicating that the reverend...]]></description>
