To differentiate the ways in which these poems display the horrors of state of war.

Ihave selected three poems, The soldier, by Rupert Brooke, Dulce etDecorum Est, and Anthem for Doomed Youth, both written by WilfredOwen. I chose Anthem for Doomed Youth and Dulce et Decorum Estbecause they are very similar and show the horrors of the war. On theother hand, I chose The spend because it is a complete phone lineand is about the remembrance of the soldiers, who are portray asheroes.Wilfred Edward Salter Owen was born on March 18, 1893. He was overseateaching until he visited a hospital for the wounded, he then contumaciousto return to England in 1915 and enlisted. Owen was injured in March1917 and was sent home. By august 1917 he was considered fit for dutyand he then returned to the face up lines. Just seven days before theArmistice he was unsettled dead by a German machine gun attacker. Owen was further twenty-five years old.The title Dulce et Decorum Est is part of a Latin saying, Dulce etdecorum est Pro patria mori, which means it is sweet and fitting todie for ones country. scarcely using this title it makes the poem seem asif it is going to exalt the war and all the people who fought forEngland in it. Owen writes from experience and from within a group ofsoldiers. He shows this by using inclusive words want we. Owenwrites, we cursed through the sludge. He also uses the word ourand writes, And towards our foreign rest beg... ...answers.On the other hand Dulce et Decorum Est is just a poem. The Soldierhas an instruction and how to honour the deceased soldiers.Dulce et Decorum Est is a runner hand experience of life on the frontlines, in contrast to The Soldier which is from Rupert Brookes mindas he never fought in the war.The Soldier whitethorn have given families of soldiers hope, incontradiction to Dulce et Decorum Est which may have caused vastamounts of controversy and hatred towards Wilfred Owen.In studying the poems and compare them there is a final conclusion.Wilfred Owens poems have a tendency to be more explicit and striking,while Rupert Brooke glorifies the war and the soldiers who fought init. This is because Wilfred Owen was strongly against war and feltthat people who were supporters of the war should understand what theyhad to go through.
