Todd changes the most throughout the film, in the beginning we see him as a timid young lad. He doesn't speak much and compared to the other boys he has a hair that looks extra ummmm different. In the middle he becomes more open to opening up and being himself around his friends and by the end he is the himself all the way.
Charlie doesn't change throughout the play he always tried to be different. When it was expected for him to left he goes right and vis versa.
Mr. Keaton is like a leader throughout the movie. He doesn't push his ideas on anyone he is simply has a big influence on the boys during his time at the prison.....school, thing.
Todd's fear was speaking up and voicing his opinion, not being someones door mat to walk all over but taking a stand for himself. He does overcome his fear and we all applaud him for his glorious moment in the last scene when Mr. Keaton is walking out of the room, forever.
Neil has this fear of his father and that he wont ever be able to pursue his dream and also he felt as if he could not talk to his father about his desire to act. He has a short break and makes a run for it, forging his fathers signature allowing him to participate in the play and once caught he kills himself. I whole, I would say that he found a loop hole around his fear and tells his dad but then shortly kills himself. I'd like to say he overcame in a way.
Knox was all girl shy and didn't want to pursue his love interest due to fear of rejection, but towards the end he comes to grips and decides that he doesn't care, as long as he did his part and told her. He tells her and that proves to be enough of a victory for him.
Todd never becomes "the norm" throughout....until the end. After all the fight that he had done not to conform to things that he didn't agree with and what not. He was constantly doing the opposite of what we thought he would, remaining loyal...in the end he becomes a snake and lies down in fear and for that i would say that he ultimately failed.
