Dead Poets Society
ˇ°Dead Poets Societyˇ±, is about passion and the ability to think oneself verses what has been demanded and expected of one, it also deals with the age-old conflict of traditional compulsion verses new modern freedom and flexibility. It is set in Welton Academy, Vermont; ˇ°the best prep school in Americaˇ±. During the movie, quotations from Tennyson, Herrick, Whitman, etc. were made. It also discussed how poetry was not something explainable or something that could be taught how to enjoy, it made this point clear when the class is instructed to rip out the introduction of the textbook.
