The movie was loosely based on the screenwriter's life. Dead Poets Society was written by Tom Schulman, who also wrote Honey, I Shrunk The Kids and What About Bob? It was the first screenplay he sold to Hollywood, though not the first one he wroteâin fact, Schulman wrote four scripts before Dead Poets Society.
Dead Poets Society is rich in symbolism, plot and imagery, making it challenging and ripe for discussion. It is open to several interpretations, as all good art is, and provides teachers with an alternative to teaching print. Dead Poets Society works well with other literature.
