2. The individual transformations of the jurors. Over the course of the film, several of the jurors undergo significant transformations in their thinking. For example, Juror 8 (Henry Fonda) begins the trial as the only juror who believes the defendant might be innocent. However, as he presents his case and listens to the other jurors' arguments, he gradually convinces them to reconsider their opinions. This transformative process demonstrates the power of rational argument and persuasion.
