Neil Perry

Neil is a charismatic, talented young man who seeks self-expression through theater. His role in A Midsummer Night's Dream is not just about participating in a play, but an act of self-discovery. For the first time, he feels that he can exist outside of his parents' expectations, and receives the approval of his friends and teacher Keating. This gives him a taste of freedom he has never known.

However, his enthusiasm is met with a cold reality: his father does not see him as an individual, only a projection of his own ambitions. Neil has no right to make mistakes or choices, because his life is controlled by others. It's not just a conflict between father and son; it's a struggle between traditions that stifle a person and the desire to live sincerely.
