Inherit the Wind is a fictionalized account of the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial, which resulted in John T. Scopes' conviction for teaching Charles Darwin's theory of evolution to a high school science class, contrary to a Tennessee state law. The role of Matthew Harrison Brady is intended to portray famed orator and politician William Jennings Bryan, while that of Henry Drummond resembles noted defense attorney Clarence Darrow. Bryan and Darrow, formerly close friends, opposed one another at the trial. The character of Bertram Cates corresponds to John Scopes, and the character of E. K. Hornbeck is modeled on that of H. L. Mencken, who covered the trial for The Baltimore Sun and whose sensational reports helped attract national attention.
