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!
