Inherit the Wind

Inherit the Wind

Jerome Lawrence

CliffsNotes on Inherit the Wind opens after Bert Cates' arrest for teaching evolution to his sophomore science class. Rachel Brown, his girlfriend and a reverend's daughter, pleads with Cates to admit he was wrong and is upset when he refuses. Cates goes to trial and two attorneys battle, with Brady representing fundamentalism and Drummond advocating science and freedom of thought. While Jerome Lawrence based this play on a historic trial, the play, itself, is fictional.
