ITW Ending

The end of Inherit the Wind was extremely unexpected. I never thought that Brady was going to die! First I thought the author was just way over the top with drama or something, but then I found out it was true! That the real lawyer in the story did die! Other than that though I didn't exactly understand it. Cause first they found Cates guilty and fined him a hundred dollars, then they said they were going to take the case to supreme court which I thought meant Cates wouldn't have to pay the hundred dollar fine. After that they fined him 500 dollars and that made no sense (well to me at least).

I agree. So unexpected! I think they changed their ruling after Brady complained, but Hornbeck paid it off anyway.

The fine for the crime was 100 dollars. Cates refused to pay the fine, and instead chose to return to prison until they can appeal to a higher court. A bail bond was set as 500, which Cates could pay in order to be released from jail while he appealed the decision. Hornbeck paid the bond for him, so the 100 was not paid.
