'Postcolonial' has emerged as a trend in literary and cultural research in search of addressing cultural conditions specific to newly independent societies. Its aim was primarily to demonstrate and subvert the cultural and psychological dimensions of colonial rule, recognizing that internal subjugation continued even long after the elimination of the political structures of colonialism. Thus, the main driver of post-colonialism has been Westernization and institutionalization. In this way, post –colonialism sought to give the developing world a political voice separate from the universalist claims of liberalism and socialism. Among the important factors in the emergence of postcolonial theory are the oppression of countries under colonial rule from all sides, the devalue of Indigenous culture, and the search for a system that goes beyond the values and judgments of the West and shows their rejection.
At the core of postcolonial theory, as mentioned earlier, the negative effects of colonialism the events in the process of colonialism reflect only situations that reflect sovereignty and oppression. Colonialism refers far beyond the verb to exploit. Postcolonial theory is a current that questions the sovereignty that the colonist established over the colony when the era of colonialism ended and the effects that this sovereignty created, which undoubtedly makes this query colonization. But there is a point to pay attention to. Colonialism in English cannot meet the word colonialism in Turkish. Colonialism means that a power takes over a region outside its borders and controls that region while using it for its own purposes. In doing so, it was necessary to influence or even change the identity of the region passing through the subject within the framework of
KARADUT AS AN BIOGRAPHICAL CRITICISMŞiir
Biographical criticism originated in the nineteenth century. Sanit-Beuve is forerunner of this criticism. It's a sense of criticism that centers on the artist.

It is impossible to understand the structure of art without being well understood the artist's life, his personal life, the books that s/he reads and influenced, his/her personality traits, and his/her relationships with his/her environment. The poem of Karadut was written because of an incident that the author experienced in his real life.

Dead Poet Society (1989) is a very successful novel and attracted a lot of attention with its script.

In such an educational style, the teacher's words are absolute truth, and there is strict discipline. Welton Academy, featured in the novel, is a school with this understanding of education and teachers in this discipline. A strict and harsh method is applied to all students, ignoring the learning needs and differences of the students. Our education system is also based on memorization. Students simply take information and learn it, they do not question or discuss it. In this way, students become afraid of their teachers. however, the teacher should not be an element of fear.
