The Responsibility in Neil Perry's Suicide
People commit suicide for many different reasons, some of them unknown. The question is, who is responsible for their suicide if anyone besides the victim? In The Dead Poet's Society, Neil Perry commits suicide and there are two people who may be responsible for it. The pain or ideas that this one person put into Neil's head drove him to commit suicide, so they are ultimately responsible for his passing. Mr. Keating and Neil's father, Mr. Perry, are the two men who might have influenced Neil to take his own life. I believe that Mr. Perry drove his son to suicide.
