Character Questions: Dead Poet's Society

1. In my opinion, Todd Anderson developed most in his experience with the people at the school. He started off being too shy to talk or go to student's activities. However, with the help of Neil Perry he made more friends and started being himself. Then Mr. Keating stepped in to fix his speaking problem by putting him in front of the class and making him close his eyes while reciting his original poem.
2. Richard Cameron is the static character, meaning he does not change. He is solid in his opinion and set in the rules. Though persuaded, he did not sway in stepping outside of his comfort zone.
3.Mr.Keating is a unique character that care about his students, unlike most of the teachers. He cares about their thoughts and feelings, and most importantly their future. He sees potential in every person and believes they should not be limited to one form or way of thinking.
4.Todd Anderson- He has the ability to form poems and beautifully words, but his fear of speaking confronts him. By going to the school and being taught by Mr. Keating, he overcomes his fear by standing up and his desk and bidding his teacher a farewell.
Neil Perry- He has the trait of acting and persuading other to follow him, a leader. His fear is being discovered and/or rejected by his father with his dream of acting. He was scared in the beginning of the movie when he father decided his classes for him and at the end where he decides his future in military school. So, no, Neil does not overcome his fear, taking the easier way out of his problems by death.
Knox Overstreet- Knox has the trait of affection and a fearless spirit that many boys lack with the opposite sex. However, despite his obsession of love for one girl, he can't shake the fear of being rejected. He overcomes this fear by taking risks like visiting her school with a poem and flower, reading the poem aloud, exposing his feelings. He put himself out there and made the girl consider loving him, which she did.
Charlie (Nwanda) Dalton- Nwanda has the ability to be fearless like Knox, but with his peers. He also has the main talent of making people laugh, which he uses to stand out from the other boys. His worst fear is being normal and fitting in with the same, controlled actions of the boys and their teachers. He feels trapped by conformity and let's himself out constantly. He has always faced and overcome his fear, the main event being in the confrontational meeting in the chapel with all the boys when he answered a telephone. He made everyone laugh and got in trouble for it, that was what he wanted: to be different.
