Dropzone.js configuration options are not recognized

Question

I am using Dropzone.js in my Asp.Net Core2 application for my file-upload and storage routine. This works fine, except when I want to use the configuration options. Whatever I am doing, the browser does not recognize the code. This seems to stupid to be true, but I still dare putting the question out to you. I have put the code in the Head section, in the Form, at the bottom, but nothing works. Any ideas? This is the code for my AddFile.cshtml. To prevent programming errors, I copied the code for the configuration options from the developers' github page.

@{
    ViewData["Title"] = "Add a document";
}

<div class="row">

    <div>
        <form id="doc-dropper" name="doc-dropper" class="dropzone" action="/AddFile" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
            <div class="fallback">

                <select asp-for="CaseID" class="form-control" asp-items="ViewBag.CaseID"><option selected="selected" value="">---</option></select>
            </div>
         </form>
        <script>
            Dropzone.options.docDropper = { // The camelized version of the ID of the form element

                // The configuration we've talked about above
                autoProcessQueue: false,
                uploadMultiple: true,
                parallelUploads: 100,
                maxFiles: 100,
                dictDefaultMessage = 'standaard boodschap',
                acceptedFiles = 'images/*'

Below I have added the source as it was compiled by Google Chrome:
