PROBLEM

Neil perry wants to be an actor

Neil's passion was always to be an actor but he lived under the yoke of his father, but behind his back he got the role of protagonist in a Shakespeare play.

Neil is not encouraged to talk to his father, instead, he lies to the teacher saying that his father seems to accept that he star in A Midsummer Night's Dream and take the opportunity to be an actor.

RESOLUTION

After the young man's death, all but one of his classmates blame his father, but the institution decides to charge the "rebel" professor of literature John Keating. When the teacher leaves, half of his students climb on their benches and say "Oh captain, my captain." Moved, the teacher responds with "thank you guys, thanks."

SOLUTION

When the day of the premiere arrives, his father appears in the theater and after the play he not only does not congratulate him but also tells him that he is going to take him out of the academy and send him to a military institution so that he can later study medicine and only then you can choose your destination.

For this reason, he decides to place in the window the crown that he had used in the play and commits suicide with his father's revolver.
