Summary
"And if I give up on consequences
is that despair
or passion? I can’t protect
myself from either. The lantern swinging
bearing down, pressing the dark
to a sliver
of shade at the edges of my field
of vision..."

Summary
Once Neil gets to about page 6 when looking over his play, he feels his eyebrows furrow. Now, obviously since the play was about the Poets as a whole, there wasn’t really a main character. There would be a more prominent character in each given scene, but Neil made sure to avoid making himself the one who narrated and directed the entire story.
But once he was about halfway through rereading what he had so far, he realized that every character more or less revolved around one Poet in particular. Every scene managed to include the character, there were always in-depth descriptions of what he and his facial expressions looked like, and everyone either went to him for help or obviously valued his opinion highly.
Neil had named the character William, and he was realizing now that he had included a surprising amount of descriptions about this character’s blond hair, blue eyes, and unassuming but devout personality.
Oh shit, Neil thinks to himself, I accidentally made Todd the main character.
Or in which it's 1960, the Poets' senior year at Welton, and Neil's writing a secret play, his magnum opus, but there's just one problem: Todd keeps getting in the way.

Summary
It is not the Todd Anderson of Welton sitting there on that hospital cot, with his uniform blazer two sizes too big and his tie all disheveled. It is twenty-seven year old Todd Anderson, who has shed both his babyfat and meekness for a lean, manly confidence. His jaw is sharp and his cheekbones are prominent, and, to make matters impossibly worse, he has gained the startling ability to grow facial hair.
It would take a blind, foolish man not to recognize that he is handsome now. Grown-up.
Doctor Neil Perry can’t breathe.
Volta (n.) A rhetorical shift or change. When a poem takes a dramatic turn into revelation.
