In The Dead Poet's Society, the character who most reminds me of Thoreau is John Keating. He has a whimsical, witty personality, and is very unconventional in what he teaches and how he teaches it. He is similar to Thoreau in that he seeks to find truth through the expression of the human spirit, in the movie's case, through poetry. He and Thoreau share a transcendental belief about humanity and the passions we share, and he tries his best to give share his truths with others.
