Will Hunting is a genius by nature. He was born with incredible talent and it only has helped that he enjoys reading and knowing a lot of this that leads to his vast knowledge. However, for someone that was born with such great brain capability, Will has had a hard life in which cigarettes were put out on him and he was stabbed. These life experiences put him into rage and he pushes people out of his life, like his lover Skyler. You would think (according to nature viewpoint) someone with that immense amount of knowledge by
