1. What do you think Will Hunting’s life would be like if the therapy had not been successful? I believe that Will would have still been a construction worker and a janitor.

" he’s giving us the rope- so that we’ll hang ourselves." To what extent do you agree with this description of the role of the Inspector? The quotation‚ " he’s giving us the rope to hang ourselves."

In this way‚ the Inspector would be able to clinch information that otherwise he would not be able to get from normal methods of interrogation
