Michael Stabolito 11/3/02 2° “Carpe Diem” “I sound my barbaric YAWP over the rooftops of the world,” said poet David Thoreau. In the film, Dead Poets Society the characters focus on the Latin phrase, “carpe diem.” Meaning, “seize the day.” The students of the infamous teacher Mr. Keating are all inspired by this phrase in different ways. Those two Latin words created more conflict, and raised more emotions than any other two words, in any other film. To student Charles Dalton, the phrase “carpe diem” is an inspiration to become more expressive with his thoughts and opinions. Charles Dalton even goes as far as changing his name, to a far more unique name, Nuwanda. Under this new persona, Dalton challenges the authority of the headmaster when he prints an article in the newspaper expressing his opinion towards the matter of girls at the school.
