This club was known as the Dead Poet’s Society. The students decided to revive the Dead Poet’s Society and would sneak out of school and into a nearby cave and read poetry by dead poets, and even wrote and recited poems of their own making. This was their act of defiance. This is how they expressed themselves and freed their minds. Through Mr. Keating’s teachings the students learned how to be individuals and decided to take a stand for what they believed in, even after tragedy struck within the Welton Community (Dead Poet’s Society, 1989). In fact, it was in the darkness of tragedy where the students found the individual lights within themselves. The writer and the director of Dead Poet’s Society were trying to bring to light the issues that come with stifling self-realization and self-expression due to forced conformity, which is a problem that continues to be relevant in society
