As shown in the chapter, Einstein as a student was very frank and fearless. His way of thinking even at that age was quite mature and practical. His inclination towards science was visible from the fact that he argued with his History teacher over the importance of knowing the causes of the Franco-Prussian war and the destruction caused by it rather than knowing its date and how many soldiers died in that war. He was an exceptional student. He had solved not only the entire book of Mathematics, but also knew very advanced level math. He was quite sensitive to the problems existing in the society. He was not happy with the slum violence. His heart pained when he saw the young boys wasting their time in useless activities such as fights and quarrels. He was very much worried about his career. He knew the school was not doing him much good. So he wanted to get away from Munich and go to Milan and get admitted to a college.
Dr. Weil
Dr. Weil was a very young doctor, who had recently become a qualified doctor. He was a very kind human being. He agreed to help Einstein when Yuri discussed with him his problem. His goodness is visible from the fact that before issuing a certificate for nervous breakdown, he asked Einstein what he would after leaving the school. When he was satisfied with Einstein’s reply, only then he gave him the certificate. He did not charge a single penny from Einstein for the help.
Yuri
Yuri was Einstein’s only source of comfort, help, and relief in Munich. He was his reliable friend. Yuri played a savior’s role in Albert’s life when he was going through a hard phase of life at Munich. Albert was neither happy at the school, nor he was comfortable at his poor lodging in a poor quarter of the city. Yuri was his only friend with whom he shared his sorrows, concerns and worries. Yuri not only comforted him and gave him hope, he also found a doctor for him who could issue Albert a certificate for nervous breakdown so that using it Albert could go away from the school, where he had some adjustment issues with his history teacher, Mr. Braun.
