Hey, I just watched Dead Poets Society for the first time ever! Now, if you guys don't mind, I'm gonna go sit in the corner of my room and scream!

cameron

watch me try to puzzle out cameron because I refuse to believe he did that for no reason

he's very school focused, but it seems to be for the sake of achievement/recognition?

not afraid of doing something wrong, more afraid that he'll get caught (therefore when he has a way to get out of having done something wrong, he takes it, as seen when he betrays keating), but that's similar enough to being scared to break rules it doesn't make much difference

I think the “scared of getting caught” thing is pretty well illustrated when he gets mad at charlie for the article, because then they'll get investigated and potentially caught

when he wants/doesn't want to do something because of this though, he seems to make excuses for why (probably so he'll be listened to and not have to be laughed at for being a rule follower, which is probably fair)

he seems very focused on what those who have more authority think of him (most obviously the school, but like I think also his parents), but also is just self-conscious of what other people think of him too

therefore, i don't think he says bad things because he genuinely believes them, but because he's trying to make himself look better (that doesn't make it right, of course)

I think this quote from keating (during the marching scene) sums up his thought process pretty well:

he always wants to do the right thing (to clarify: not the morally right thing, what those around him have decided is right), to follow instructions correctly

(on a separate note, keating is a master at analysing his students for no reason)

in the end, I think at his core he just really wants the approval of others (those in authority above all) and acts accordingly to get it (including making himself agreeable to others)

I think that's why he still tries to justify his actions to the poets in the end: the approval of authority matters to him, but so does the approval of his friends (because I don't think he realised losing them would be a consequence, even a short-term one, of his actions)

feel free to add more or correct me!

shoutout to Dead Poets Society (1989) for taking the intensely British genre of boys' boarding school drama and making it unerringly American

[lusinzak]

Me, living casually and purposelessly:

Also me, randomly remembering one of my favorite characters, who should not have died, especially in such a stupid and preventable way: *punches a nearby pillow with all force*

Also me: *goes on living in the same way*

im re-reading dead poets society (i've read the book only once but watched the movie abt 4 times) and shit i love it so much

[character-obsessed-fem]

i think meeks should be allowed to have three sisters and a single mum... as a treat. bonus points if all of the sisters' names also begin with 'st' - i know thats like the most cliche thing ever but i think her mom would be silly like that alright

i imagine her having a twin sister, named stephanie, (who is older by like, an hour) and two older sisters, named stacy and stella (four years older and seven years older respectively)

"what about her dad??" i am choosing to pretend that her father simply does not Exist™ because i think it's funny if all of the dead poets had some form of daddy issues

[desire-mona]

i have to practice soooo much restraint with the keating blog bc god everything in me screams to just be like

Neil and Todd,

Queers.

Best,

Keating

sometimes and i KNOW HE WOULD NEVER but god it would be so funny. everything is hilarious with the Keating Formalities.

You can’t hurt me. I’ve watched Dead Poets Society like 100 times and I regularly stalk the Neil Perry tag
