JUROR 2 As a member of the jury who should be firm and reasonable enough, this person gets swayed away easily and his next actions are based upon his previous conversations.

12 ANGRY MENJUROR 1Being the person in charge of handling the jury discussion, he does a good job performing his role but as the story progresses his authoritarian way starts fading away. Although he stays organized tracking the votes of the jurors, he gets irritated and frustrated when there is an objection to his control which hampers his leadership abilities.JUROR 2As a member of the jury who should be firm and reasonable enough, this person gets swayed away easily and his next actions are based upon his previous conversations. Apart from being a helping hand in the time calculation, his presence seems irrelevant since most of the times he goes along with the majority and doesnt have an individual standpoint.JUROR 3He is the last person to change his vote because of the illusion created in his mind because of previous facts. He forces his views upon others as well as intolerant to other peoples which makes him an arrogant, stubborn and pessimistic person. Also his thoughts are influenced by his past and family.JUROR 4He is the only man in the group who firmly believes in facts and concerned with logic. He comes across as a person who does not sweat in the heat, but his judgement is finally overridden at the eleventh hour, due to which he could not support his own strong opinions and arguments.JUROR 5Coming from a lower class slum background, he feels afraid to stand up to elder people in the room. But when he does, he could not resist the reasonable doubt created by the knife handling incident which makes him stronger as a jury member.JUROR 6In general, this member stays very silent and allows other people do the discussions. He speaks up occasionally when things strike him. His decision making process is very slow and takes a lot of time to listen and act.JUROR 7Obsessed with other important things other than the jury, this member blows away with the wind. He is short tempered and does not implement logic to form his opinions which is represented by the fact that when the votes start increasing in favour of not guilty, he changes his vote so that he could move quickly from the room.JUROR 8This member plays a very important role from the beginning till the end. The point at which he votes not guilty seems very appreciating and courageous. He convinces the whole jury in a matter of hours because of his good ability to process thoughts in a clear and effective manner. Although people try to override him, but he stays in his determined position and enacts events of the crime so as to give a clear understanding to the members. In the process, he gradually changes other peoples perspectives too, which play a very great role in the acquittal of the boy.JUROR 9The oldest member in the jury seems timid partly because of his long life. But the way he sees things quietly and comes to a conclusion makes him insightful which is also supported by the fact that he was the first person to change his vote to not guilty.JUROR 10Being an angry and bitter member, he pays no importance to the 18 year old boy and shouts out racist and intolerant comments throughout the discussion. He does not pay heed to other peoples changing their decisions, but in the end because of his repellent attitude, he is segregated from the whole group, which forces him to change his decision.JUROR 11Being a immigrant form Europe and after seeing much injustice, he asks too many questions which is good but he does not do anything other than asking questions. He analyses the crime scene very carefully and puts up questions to other members when their facts seem false. His faith in the democracy prevents him from comprehending facts as a jury.JUROR 12The most distracted person in the jury always thinks of business and has no value to the understanding of people. He does not even understand the rare questions which are put up to him. The ground upon which he decides his point of view always seems shaky and indecisive.
