poems ’Disabled’ and ’Mental Cases’‚ both written by Owen‚ are about war and cover similar but also very different situations. ‘Disabled’ displays the thoughts and feelings of a young man who has lost his limbs after suffering the injuries of war. ‘Mental Cases’‚ on the other hand‚ captures the damage to men’s minds as a result of war. Owen’s aim is to shock and to describe in stark detail the ghastly physical symptoms of mental torment. The main consequence that is explored in ’Disabled’ is what

The Poems ‘Out‚ Out’ by Robert Frost and ‘Disabled’ by Wilfred Owen both contain many similarities and differences. Both poems tackle the issue of death and how precious life is‚ although they are from very different perspectives. Disabled has a much more personal approach to the subject as the story is told from a third person looking over the mans life‚ as opposed to in ’Out‚ Out’ where the narrator is detached from the characters‚ being an outsider. ’Out‚ Out’ tells of the events surrounding the

I think that in the poem ’Disabled’‚ Wilfred Owen is trying to convey the real tragedy of war. Many people think only of those killed but reading the poem you remember that many people who were not killed in the war could still have suffered a lot more. In the poem Owen focuses on one young man‚ a single victim of war. It shows the effect the war has on the young man’s life‚ when on returning from the war he has been maimed "legless‚ sewn short at elbow" Owen writes the poem with
