Confessions of a Dead Poet was written during a very difficult time in my life and draws on all the emotions and impressions I was experiencing at the time. I rearranged these and wove them—as tangible elements—into this story.
At the heart of this narrative is the nameless protagonist, who suddenly finds himself underwater against his will and with a gap in his memory. After an initial daze and coming to terms with his actual circumstances, he wages a desperate—because hopeless—struggle against the laws of nature.
Surrendering to this hopelessness marks just as much of a turning point in the story as the hope that flares up once more or the uncertainty that arises at the end, leaving the audience with a sense of unresolved tension during this reading.
