1. Sean is trying to tell will that it does not matter how smart you are, that you can not pass your judgments based purely on reading books and looking at paintings. He is trying to tell that he can not judge him because will has done nothing and has no experience to back up his claims. Road blocks to will's fulfillment was he had a bad childhood which spiraled him in a path of bad decisions, he copes with this by constantly reversing everyone's statements and by being defensive.

Sean is explaining to Will that reading books don't make real life experiences. One has to actually live them to understand what you have to go through. Will has never had a relationship because he is afraid of failure unlike Sean who was married. A big road block that Sean has is the death of his wife. He copes with this by talking to others about their experiences.

Sean is trying to prove to Will that he is inexperienced and hasn't lived life to the fullest yet. Although Sean acknowledges Will as a genius, he believes that Will needs to continue seeing him in order to reach his full potential. The roadblock that Will is facing is that he has is unwilling to fully cooperate when dealing with other people. Will purposely sabotages his relationships with others so he can remain isolated.

1. Sabotaging relationships is Will's way of avoiding hurt - it puts HIM in the power seat of a relationship. However, he guarantees failure of all relationships unless he takes a risk and leaves himself vulnerable.

1. Sean is trying to show Will that even though he is highly intelligent, he is not utilizing his abilities to his full potential by isolating himself and shutting himself off from getting help. Will never experienced a strong sense of stability through out his numerous foster homes and he copes with this by being very guarded.

1. Sean is trying to explain to will and help him understand that Will can know everything in the world from reading and no doubt that he is smart, but there is a difference between knowing fact and understanding from expieriance. For example, Will knows about love,in the conventional sense and from stories he's read and heard, but hes never truly expierianced it. He has never opened himself up to anyone, never let anyone in and truly cared about them as they cared about him. He never dreamed of putting someone else or their intrests first, which is love, to care more for someone than yourself. Sean is trying to help him undestand, that he can read all the books he want, remember Shakepearean sonnets and phrases but that doen't mean that he knows what love is, and for that anything else that he reads.
