Discussion
Identification
Its ancient literature expresses the concept where someone is told to forgo their past and embrace what lies ahead. Many real-life examples of Carpe Diem can merely be identified as someone's death where people mourne for some time but have to let go to move forward or back to normative behavior. The Latin expression which makes it a more popular notion talks about taking joy in student life and accept the inevitable fate of death (Nahmmacher, pp. 340). The “seize the day” expression is a key which most people use to represent almost two opposite approaches. One to savor life and the other to resist its allure. Its translation excludes with a singular expression which expresses being able to enjoy, relinquish, and make use of the day. The film “Dead Poets Society” made in 1989 summarizes its plot with the Latin expression of carpe diem (Serey, pp. 380). It teaches the characters of the movie on how to live life differently.
Conclusion
The aforementioned explanation of the theme “Carpe Diem” illustrates many examples through which it can be easily identified. One of the prominent examples can be its literary and film example. Moreover, it is widely used in real life by expressing a certain point of joy or loss, to accept and move on towards other opportunities. Its popular notion in society is connected with its significance with the Latin expression.
