Dead Poets Society: Follow Up Character Quentions..

    In my opinion, I think Todd transformed the most because he went from being a shy kid who followed the crowd to someone who showed leadership and stood up for someone the boys admired. At the end of the film, Mr. Keating was fired and blamed for the death of Neil. Todd took the initiative to stand up and confess to Keating that he disagrees with the rest of the school that Mr. Keating was the cause if Neil's death.

    Neil's father is a static character in the film. Neil's parents, especially his father, were very controlling over his life. When Neil tells his father about his acting, his father is very clear that he does not like the path that Neil is heading towards. When he finally lets Neil participate in the play, it doesn't end well. His father continues to be controlling as he tells Neil where and what he will be studying in college. 

    Mr. Keating is the protagonist of the film. Even though the school board does not see Keating as someone who you would look up to, but Keating was the "hero" to the kids. Their lives were changed by him.

    Todd Anderson had a fear of being noticed and attention, but Mr. Keating and Neil helped him break out of his shell. You can tell that he overcame his fear at the end when he stands up for Mr. Keating even though he might have been kicked out of the school. Neil Perry had a fear of not being able to live a life of his own. His father is controlling his life which leads him to commit suicide. I think Neil overcame his fear when he decided to act knowing that his father wouldn't allow it. Knox Overstreet had a fear of compliance and conformity. He uses girls and disobedience in order to seem more prominent among others.
