“Inherit the Wind: A Historical Analysis” (link at bottom of page)

“Inherit the Wind: A Historical Analysis” site compared the reality of the Scope trials to the written version of the trials, Inherit the Wind. This site compares the actual knowledge of the characters of Brady and Drummond. In reality Brady had a wide knowledge of Darwin’s Theory in the scientific field and just disagreed with it, while Drummond had very little knowledge of the actual theory and just went along with it simply because it was scientific. In Inherit the Wind this was pretty much the opposite. Drummond had the extensive knowledge of the theory and Brady did not. This site did point out the similarity of one of the qualities of Drummond’s character in real life versus the fictional character, Drummond was religious in both cases. This site mostly just covered the comparison between these two characters but it did bring up the comparison of the fictional townspeople versus the historical townspeople. In reality the townspeople were always very nice to both lawyers and in fiction they were rude to Drummond, this came from newspaper clippings from the times from an actual quote from Drummond.
