The Theme Of Inherit The Wind

In the drama "inheritance wind" by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Lee, the theme is that everyone has the right to think. An example of a play theme is the development of Rachel's independence thinking. First Rachel was very afraid of her father. She said, "I remember being like this when I was a girl ... but I am always more afraid of him ... I am falling, I feel like this now" (48-49 ). But by the end of the book she is moving away from her father and now has her own thoughts and thoughts.

The theme of "inheritance" is freedom of thinking. Cates like Scope were arrested for violating the Butler law prohibiting teaching of evolution at public schools in Tennessee State and effectively reviewed what can be taught in public school classrooms . Drummond, Lawrence, and the voice of Lee in the game, violently opposed the review of knowledge. When knowledge is reviewed, the right to think is limited. Drummond claims that everyone has the right to think. When Brady condemned Drummond as "... destroying the faith of everyone against the Bible and God," Drummond replied, "You know that this is not true, prejudice and ignorance"

The theme of inheriting the wind is the right of democracy and thought. When Drummond did not allow him to bring his witness to the booth, he had no hope. In his despair, he came up with the idea of ​​getting up "Matthew Harrison Brady", a prophet from Nebraska. In explaining the reason for his conviction to Darwin, the origin of the species, he said something explaining the importance of thinking. "The idea is a bigger monument than the cathedral," Drummond means that ideas can advance humanity with struggle to adapt to the changing world. At the same time, religion is good for comfort and comfort, but relying solely can stop you. In the previous drama, when Drummond asked Cates' student Howard, he asked him something useful to further prove the point of thought. "Do you think that tractor is guilty because it is not listed in the Bible?"

In a society that respects freedom of thought, we need to pay attention to different beliefs. Drummond refers to the evolutionary theory / fundamentalism conflict in the "legacy wind" but in the McCarthy era also the lack of respect for intolerance and respect for different beliefs and thoughts is revealed. A slight connection with communism ruined people's lives. Drummond's comment "wrong right" is a general appeal in the McCarthy era. The message Lawrence and Lee sent through Drummond means that even though people think and think, they are not stagnating. One of the ideas of Drummond is "a monument that is bigger than the cathedral." The author not only can think independently but also needs to face the new information, knowledge, thoughts and tremors thinking about. It is only in line with most or most popular views.
