    • 3 Pages

    Owen is more famous for his angry and emotional poems such as Dulce‚ though his quieter poems can pack just a strong a punch.

Hence‚ I feel Owen’s purpose in the novel is more to advance and develop Sassoon’s character than it is his own. However‚ through his meeting and interactions with Sassoon‚ Owen actually develops himself too‚ in terms of his confidence and his poetry. When Owen first features in the novel‚ he is described

    Owen reflects on the price paid by soldiers during wartime as he shows how the war takes away the soldiers lives.
