He looks at the words, “Dead Poets,” written on the first page, and begins to weep. Mr. Keating weeps because the phrase “Dead Poet” has taken on a tragic new meaning. Keating's philosophy of “seize the day” was based on the inevitability of death—now, death has come to one of the Dead Poets.
The tragedy of Dead Poets Society is that some of Keating's students misinterpret his celebration of life, originality, and the “carpe diem” mindset to mean that a life without creativity and originality is worthless and not worth living.
