    Both "Mental Cases" and "Disabled" are anti-war poems evoking vivid and sometimes shocking emotions. Owen shows a less pleasant side to "The Great War" in his typical fashion. "Disabled" paints a vivid picture of a young man’s misfortune and shows the contrast between his old life - full of hope - and his new life‚ in which he has no hope. "Mental Cases"‚ on the other hand‚ outlines the mental effects of the war‚ with strikingly vivid images. ~ "Disabled" begins with a description of a man in a

    One of the most known poems to come out of World War I is Dulce Et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen‚ which comes from Latin‚ meaning ‘It is sweet and right’‚ This title came Horace‚ who is a Roman poet. The poem itself is riddled with terrifying imagery of the war‚ at the end of the poem‚ the title has more light shed on it‚ completing it. It finished as ‘Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori’‚ which means ‘It is sweet and right to die for your country’. This serves a purpose of irony throughout the poem

This poem immediately sets up a negative perspective of what it is like on a battlefield
