Compare and contrast the styles and techniques of two of the Wilfred :: English Literature

comparability and contrast the styles and techniques of two of the WilfredOwen poems you have studied to demonstrate the poets attitude to fightf areWilfred Owen was a state of war poet from the First World War he was natural in1893 and died in 1918, whilst fighting in the Great War. He wrotehis poetry while sitting as an injured soldier on a hospital bed, andmany say this is where he developed his flare pass for writing. In thisessay, I have decided to analyse two poems Dulce et decorousness est andAnthem for Doomed Youth. In my opinion both of these poems giftOwens anger towards the war, but do so in very divergent ways. I amgoing to compare and contrast the two poems, so that I get a betteridea of Owens attitude to war.Themes are important to any poem beca use it is what they are near.The main theme in Dulce et Decorum est is that it is not a gloriousthing to fight for ones region it is actually a horrific andtraumatising experience. This is ironic because the name of th e poemtranslates to It is a glorious and honorable thing to fight for ones coarse. I think Owen has done this so that he can tow up to thelast line where he is urging people gage at home to cease tellingtheir children the old lie and to me this is effective. Stanza trinityis writing about the tragedy of war it says Obscene as crab louse, andI think this is a useful simile because it is something that people endorse at home, reading the poetry, could relate to. Another theme ofthis poem is conclusion there are many occasions in which Owen talks aboutdeath. I have chosen guttering, choking, drowning as an examplebecause it portrays an image of a horrific and painful way of dying.Another example of death is blanched eyes writhing in his face, hishanging face this is effective to me because the use of repetitionemphasises the state in which the soldier is in, and draws a vividimages in the readers mind. I think these themes show that Owen has abitter attitude towards war because h e seems to tho mention a badside of war as if there is no glorious part.The main theme in stanza one of Anthem for Doomed Youth however isthe lack of a funeral for people dying in the war. An example of thisis choirs of wailing shells this means that the only choir theyhave when they die is the sound the shells make as they sack through
