The Relationship of the Characters of Will and Skylar in the Movie Good Will Hunting Essay

In the film Good Will Hunting, many personal relationships are displayed. From the beginning, to the end, you can see these relationships grow, while taking an evolutionary course. During the film, Will (Matt Damon), and Skylar (Minnie Driver), experienced such a course. There are six stages that they went through from the beginning to the end, to finally reach Romantic Relationship status. The relationship between Will and Skylar was overall escalating, but had its tough times. The first stage is people who arent interacting. Will and Skylar are aware of themselves as individuals with particular needs, goals, and qualities that affect what they look for in romantic relationships.

Will overheard what was going on, and backed his friend Chuck up by embarrassing the Harvard guy, and at the same time, showing how smart and witty he was to Skylar. Once the Harvard guy left, Will and Skylar talked about Harvard, and their active dislike of many of the students who go there. They separated for a while, but later on in the night, Skylar approached Will, and they exchanged phone numbers. The second stage of their Romantic Relationship was complete.

The main character in The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dorian, is a man too easily influenced by his surroundings. He is quoted as saying, Basil Hallward is what I think I am Lord Henry is what the world thinks me Dorian is what I would like to bein other ages, perhaps (Wilde). This comparison falls in line with the moral of the story because Dorian is stuck with eternal youth and beauty even though he has a wicked soul. This causes different views of him by people who observe his daily life. Dorian is a sponge throughout the novel that absorbs everything and allows it to shape his personality, morals, and actions.
