Unnamed Trial Spectators

This icon represents "the invisible spectators" in the courtroom who "gasp" at Nancy's response upon being given the death sentence (41). The play's second scene makes it clear that Temple and Gowan Stevens are among those present, but from the text's only description of the spectators - they are "invisible" - we cannot say that for sure. The spectators' reaction seems to be a collective one, though it's likely that unlike the white men who participate in the trial as lawyers, officers and jury members, this audience includes non-white and non-male people.
