Struggle Between Passion and Parental Expectations
Neil Perry
I just talked to my father. He's making me quit the play at Henley Hall. Acting's everything to me. I- But he doesn't know! He- I can see his point; we're not a rich family, like Charlie's. We- But he's planning the rest of my life for me, and I- He's never asked me what I want!
John Keating
Have you ever told your father what you just told me? About your passion for acting? You ever showed him that?
Neil Perry
I can't.
John Keating
Why not?
Neil Perry
I can't talk to him this way.
John Keating
Then you're acting for him, too. You're playing the part of the dutiful son. Now, I know this sounds impossible, but you have to talk to him. You have to show him who you are, what your heart is.
Neil Perry
I know what he'll say. He'll tell me that acting's a whim and I should forget it. They're counting on me; he'll just tell me to put it out of my mind for my own good.
John Keating
You are not an indentured servant. It's not a whim for you. You prove it to him by your conviction and your passion. You show that to him, and if he still doesn't believe you - well, by then, you'll be out of school and can do anything you want.
Neil Perry
No. What about the play? The show's tomorrow night!
John Keating
Then you have to talk to him before tomorrow night.
Neil Perry
Isn't there an easier way?
John Keating
No.
Neil Perry
I'm trapped!
[laughs]
John Keating
No you're not.
