New York Daily News published this on June 2, 1989. (New York Daily News) 1 / 2. Director Peter Weir's 'Dead Poets Society' is a truly lovely movie about seven boys coming of age in a world about. Jan 17, 2019 Dead Poets Society is a 1989 drama about an English teacher who inspires his students to look at poetry with a different perspective of authentic knowledge and feelings. You’ve surely seen this classic film with Robin Williams, he playing a new English teacher at an all-boys prep school in New England. As John Keating, he subverts traditional.
In the book, “Dead Poets Society”, the protagonist, Neil Perry, is a leader, a independent, and a pressured teenager. He is well liked and he has many friends. He is pretty much the leader in his group of friends, while he brings back the Dead poets society. He took charge and stepped up.
Neil’s father has many expectations of him for instance, he wished that Neil grows up to be a doctor. Unfortunately, Neil does not want to listen to his controlling father and he believes otherwise. He wants to be his own person and live his own life without his father always telling him what and what not to do. As the book goes on, Neil starts to take more control of his life, with the help of Mr. Keating who tells him to seize the day. Neil goes and tries out for “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” against the expectations of his father who would have a fit if he found out.
As the book moves forward, it becomes more obvious that Neil is a Round and Dynamic character. First off, in the beginning of the book, Neil really cared about what his father might think and if he would approve of what he was doing. But, towards the end, he changes his mind-set and tries new things. That affected himself as a person. His father turned him down when he told him about the play and Neil didn’t like that and eventually killed himself. That shows how much your parents really do have a huge impact on your life and what you do. In this case, his parents made Neil rebel and unexpectedly commit suicide.
