Ep 16: A Dead Poets Society?
On this episode we explore Walt Whitman's poem "O Captain! My Captain!" alongside it's role in the film Dead Poets Society. Whitman dedicates this poem to the former President Abraham Lincoln, which unravels the theme of Victory and Loss. Towards the end of the episode we explore how Robin Williams brought this poem to life in his role as John Keating. So sit back, relax and I'll see you on the next one.
