From the play, "Inherit the Wind"

What does it mean, when Hornbeck refers to Cates as

"boy-Socrates, latter-day Dreyfus, Romeo with a biology book?"

Why would he make those references?


He is talking about his being an idealist.... a philosopher... not dealing with the reality of the times. Look up Dreyfus and Socrates to get an idea of how they thought and you can then compare.
That is a super play, works really well in-the-round.


Thanks!
