Compare And Contrast Who's For The Game And Dulce Et Decorum Est
Who wants to go to war? No one with the capability to comprehend words! In “Dulce et Decorum Est” and “Who’s for the Game?” talk about war in different ways, either warning about what happens to people, or praising the ones who go and survive. In “Dulce et Decorum Est” Wilfred Owen talks about all the death and pain and suffering that comes with war. In “Who’s for the Game?” Jessie Pope speaks about being ready to fight, being heroes, and how fun it is to be in the fight, even though it is not amusing at all. Even though, if you even survive, when you go home you will be welcomed and praised, you will be scarred for life with everything you saw. Firstly, in “Dulce et Decorum Est,” Owen writes about all the pain that soldiers have to go through.
“But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame, all blind;/ Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots” (Owen,6-7). Soldiers go through so much pain for one human being to handle in a year, in one day, for weeks, or even months. Those men come home scarred all over and, in worst cases, missing limbs.
In contradiction, “Who’s for the Game?”
