2. Literature Review

The creation of the children’ role in the play is very successful. But the inpiduality is treated remarkably. Neil is full of passion and vitality, Demon with ancient ideal, Charlie is reckless, Knox is falling in love with a girl. The role of Keating gave the play a center of gravity and the fulcrum of words. Then different character to this group of young student film added gorgeous. In the play Dead Poets Society, many scholars are itching to understand why Neil chooses end his rest life. Is the high pressure from his father or the school’s inflexible education system makes Neil mad? Regardless of what factor cause the death, in my opinion, the real origin is Neil’s mentality and his attitude of life. He is the main reason, why would I say? If you watch the film you will find that Neil Perry is the most pimp man in his class. He also hesitate to do anything, the only thing he could do is follow his father’s decision. There is one thing that Neil keeping in mind is he can’t betray his father or the school’s doctrine. He must curb his thought even the beloved drama. Each time his father talks to him, he can’t say any words only listen.

Under this dilemma circumstance, Neil’s spirit was hit again and again. Because of his inability to figure out the reality. Due to his limited ability, his mentality becomes grieved. Neil falls into the trap of status which restricts his dream instead of widening his sense of liberty. Finally Neil chooses to end his life in tragedy.来~自^优尔论+文.网www.youerw.com/

According to Feud, personality is a whole which includes part of connection and interaction. In the description of his early theory, the structure of our human mental is composed of three parts:Subconscious, former consciousness and consciousness. Subconscious mainly is constrained desire and instinct impulse, but it cannot enter consciousness because of constraining. Consciousness is the psychological content that we perceive and also is the surface that exist in our psychology; former consciousness is situated between subconscious and consciousness, the intensity of constraining intensity is not very high, it’s easy to enter consciousness.
