Dead Poets Society is a film which tells the story of an English teacher at a very traditional all boys prep school and how he inspires his students through his teaching of poetry. From his teaching his students learn how important it is to be yourself and that you must take risks at live, his unorthodox teaching style impacted four of the boy the most. There has been some debate over whether or not Dead Poets Society should continue to be studied in high schools. Personally, I believe that the film has educational value. By analyzing the film, students learned about the important themes of identity, “Carpe Diem” and tradition.

The architectural significance is not as important as being able to transform the Cathedral into a sign of the oppression of Quasimodo. The bell towers are emphasized as his lair of sorts, but more like a prison. A prison for a deformed, half-blind man is a very different image than a historian would paint of the majestic building. The grand scale of the Cathedral of Notre Dame is a great place for the setting because of the grand scale and the aesthetics of Gothic architecture. The flying buttresses provide a sort of playground for Quasimodo as we see him swinging down the side of the building but it also gives the feeling of his own personal prison because he can’t escape outside of the bars.
