Spring Awakening/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

** It's not [[Plot Induced Stupidity]]: It's all but stated that the teachers frame Melchior {{spoiler|for Moritz's suicide}} the minute they find out about it, which could be a few days to a few ''hours'' after {{spoiler|someone found Moritz's body.}} Just think: Their kid's best friend {{spoiler|shot himself in the woods}}, then the teachers start spreading the word that he caused it (to cover their own asses), and finally it turns out that Melchior ''also'' got someone pregnant. That situation would be chaotic in ''modern times'', let alone a town that's stated to be extremely traditional. It would be difficult if not impossible for ''anyone'' to think logically if that all happened to them. Now for the Bergmans: They just found out that the poor Stiefel boy killed himself, and didn't Wendla used to play with him? Then they find out that Melchior Gabor was the reason, and this (especially for a heavily Christian town) would catapult him ''far'' beyond the normal "bad boy" disapproval. Considering that nearly every Christian sect views suicide as worse than murder, not least because of the pain someone would have to be in to do it, nobody would want their daughter to marry a boy who was responsible for something like that.
