1. The obvious choice for who your favorite character was in Inherit the Wind is Drummond. Drummond is smart, funny, and progressive. He fights for what is right, and wants the people of Hillsboro to acknowledge science. Drummond is smart and confident, though the entire town favored Brady, he didn’t doubt that he would be successful. At the end of the book he even has the chance to let Cates get off with a minor punishment, but chooses instead to go to a higher court to argue again. That being said there is something that appeals to me about Brady. I think it is his overall confidence in something that he cannot prove. Brady’s character amuses me. Even though I would probably hate him if I actually met him, I don’t mind him so much when I get to observe him from a distance. Even though I hate him so much, I wound up feeling bad for him. So I guess I like characters that allow me to sympathize with them. Even though I couldn’t necessarily agree or connect with Brady, I was able to be compassionate toward him. In the end Brady is so defeated, what he thought would be a sure victory turned out to be one of the hardest battles of his life.
