The film, starring Robin Williams, is set in 1959 at the fictional elite boarding school Welton Academy, [4] and tells the story of an English teacher who inspires his students through his teaching of poetry.

In spite of Todd’s loyalty, Keating is fired from Welton and essentially barred from ever teaching again. Individuality is the antithesis of Welton's ethos, and not surprisingly, his teaching methods come to the attention of Gale Nolan, the strict and archaic headmaster.

Sin embargo, mirándolo en retrospectiva, tampoco libero de toda responsabilidad al propio John Keating de los sucesos que desencadenan el desenlace, pero en el sentido de que no fue capaz de prever cómo sus enseñanzas ahondarían la desesperanza en jóvenes que aún no tenían todas las herramientas para enfrentar la vida, sobre todo en una época marcada por los prejuicios. The Bell Jar chronicles the crack-up of Esther Greenwood: brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful, but slowly going under—maybe for the last time.
