The major change in the characters that I spotted would be the change within the jury itself. Throughout the whole book, the jury is buying Mrs. Wood’s case, accepting that cigarettes are addictive and that they cause lung cancer. However, they also realize that smoking is a choice and that everyone consciously makes the choice knowing the possible outcomes. In short, the jury is pretty much up in the air and no one really knows what is going to happen. However, given our insight into the jury and each of the characters, we notice the jury becoming more one-sided toward punishment for the tobacco industry. Finally at the end of the story, we see the jury become quite decisive and there is really no hope for the tobacco companies. So, in a nutshell, we see the jury shift from a wide spectrum of ideas and opinions to a centering to a final opinion.
