Look I know I relate Neil to a new character every other post (one day I will do a tumblr poll on which character is most Neil-coded but not today) but also Ophelia and Neil parallels go so hard???

Both in a Shakespeare play that results in their death by their own hands (Ophelia obviously is a character in Hamlet which is a Shakespeare play who, when she fell in the lake, giddily sang until her dress became too heavy and drowned her some saying it a suicide as she was consumed by grief over the loss of her father, and Neil acting as Puck in Midsummer Nights Dream starts the fight with his father that results in his suicide)

Both associated with the color green and with nature

Both were obedient to their controlling fathers who used them to fulfill a plan they didn’t want to be apart of which also ties to the loss of their autonomy at the hands of their fathers (Ophelia’s father used her as a pawn without her knowledge, which is taking away her autonomy, in the plot against her lover hamlet who she did not want the demise of, through having her tell him all of Hamlet’s actions so he could figure out his motive and such, and Neil’s father wanted Neil to follow the life plan he had planned out for him even though Neil didn’t want that, which is taking away his autonomy)

Both their lovers hate their fathers

Both to some extent were believed to be liars that caused people to be angry with them and want to send them off potentially for ‘what’s best for them’ but also potentially for punishment (Hamlet believing Ophelia was deceitful because he was thinking all women were deceitful because mommy issues so he rejects her and says for her to go to the nunnery, some say to preserve her innocence and some believe it could’ve been slang meaning for her to go to a brothel because he wanted nothing to do with her because he thought she was part of the plot against him, and Neil’s father believed he was a liar because he went behind his back and joined the play, and he was going to send him away from welton to a military school and then make him go to med school to become a doctor, one interpretation being that it is because he believes this is the best path to make sure Neil is successful, and another interpretation being he wants to punish him through isolating Neil and taking him away from his friends for disobeying him)

Both spoke in rhyme before their death (Neil reciting Puck’s closing poem and Ophelia died singing a hymn or poem while still floating in the lake)

Both were giddy when they were not supposed to be, same day as their deaths too (Neil preforming in the play earlier that night that he wasn’t supposed to be in and Ophelia going mad which caused her to be uncharacteristically giddy to cope with her grief)

Both have a flower crown/wreath which them taking off to set down was an important part of their death

Both were drowning metaphorically and Ophelia literally due to a lose in their lives that leads to their death at their own hands

Both fell at their deaths even if it wasn’t how they died, as a way to literally show the characters metaphorical downfall (Neil hitting the floor of the study after shooting himself and Ophelia falling in the lake she drowns in when trying to put her flower crown on the branches of a willow)

Let's talk about the fact that Keating probably spent the rest of his life with copious amounts of guilt, grief and trauma that go along with being accused of Neil's death. Imagine Keating trying to teach again but seeing a potential Neil in every person, fighting against his own instincts to teach teenagers how to be themselves and instead telling them to conform. Keating struggling with the idea of having children due to the fear of failing them, knowing he was like a father figure to Neil. Keating not being able to read poetry without tears in his eyes and an ache in his chest knowing that something he once loved was now tainted with pain and regret. Replaying the conversation he had with Neil over and over in his head wondering if he could have done more. Being crushed by the realisation that not everyone has the opportunity to write their own verse. Feeling the burden and shame of neil perry's ghost for the rest of his life.

narcissa is autistic and alice has adhd

Neville brings his mother a bouquet of roses at the hospital. "They're lovely, thank you," she says, vacant. A Healer mentions that Mrs. Longbottom only seems to respond to one thing. She's been clutching a single, pressed flower that they found in her Auror robes. She won't let it go. The Healer shows Neville. It's not a rose. It's a white narcissus.
