One thing that I found interesting about the experiment was how on the second day the prisoners started a rebellion against the guards. I thought it was interesting because of how sudden it was and how it resulted in the guards treating the prisoners a lot worse than they did at first and it lead to worse conditions for the prisoners. It raises the question; perhaps the guards would not have treated the prisoners so badly had they not rebelled in the beginning and simply played along.
I thought it was interesting how the researcher said that he stopped feeling like a researcher during the experiment and instead started feeling like he really was a warden at a prison. This is shown through how after one of the prisoners was released and a rumor started that the prisoner would come back with friends to free everyone and the researcher thought only about how he could keep the prison going rather than the experiment showing that he forgot that he was a researcher and instead embraced the given role that he had as a warden. I thought this was a terrifying concept to think about as it shows even the person conducting the experiment forgot what he really was and instead embraced the role he was given.
