The theme in Dead Poets Society

Hey Guys, today I'm gonna analyze a main theme in Dead Poets Society. A theme is an idea or point that is central to a story, maybe this is a bit difficult, but I hope you will enjoy it. 🤪

My Theme: Suicide

Obviously, Dead Poets Society handles with different themes such as individuality or dreams. But today we're only gonna analyze another very important theme, suicide.
What does "Dead Poets Society" say about suicide?
If we think of suicide, we often think of people with depression or young people, that are bullied in school, but DPS says something different. In DPS, we see Neil Perry killing himself, because he can't do what he wants to do, not because he's bullied or in a deep depression. That tells us, that many things can lead to suicide, even if you're not able to live your life as you want, suicide is an option for Neil. DPS is also about the reaction of the students to Neil's death, it covers what it means for friends and family to lose someone. This theme makes Dead Poets Society emotional and gives it suspense and power.

This theme is very important for the story!! I hope you enjoyed this post too.

See ya tomorrow

your Tim

1. The four Pillars Hey guys and welcome to my first real post. Today I'd like to talk about the "four pillars" of Welton Society, the school in Dead Poets Society. What are the four pillars? The four pillars are the four major values of Welton Academy, the boarding school that our characters attend. The four pillars are: H onor , t radition , d iscipline and e xellence . They are fundamental for the school's high level. The pillars are probably comparable to guiding principles even if they are much stricter than at normal schools. At Welton Academy, the four pillars are so important that they are presented and celebrated at the beginning of every new semester. O k, now that you know about the pillars, I'd like to tell you what I think about them. If I'm honest, I don't like schools like Welton that put excellence and discipline into the center of everything. Cause I believe, that life is to short for not having fun and learning things you'...

Characterization Hello there, today I'm gonna give you a short characterization about Mr. John Keating. Enjoy! In the novel " Dead Poets Society ", written by N. H. Kleinbaum, John Keating is one of the main characters. He is probably about 50 years, with brown hair, a round face and blue eyes. Normally he is wearing a brown suit and a white shirt.

His behavior is changing in every situation, sometimes he is excited, for example when he stands in a table in the classroom, or he is calm, for example when he walks around the campus while he's whistling.

He has a special connection to the boys who revived the Dead Poets Society. Mr. Keating teaches differently and that's why he is more liked and appr...
