The two poems‚ “To Lucasta‚ going to the Wars” by Richard Lovelace and “Dulce et Decorum Est” by Wilfred Owen are both devoted to the subject of war. Lovelace’s poem was written in the 17th century and as well as almost all the poetry of the period has romantic diction.

‘For the Fallen’ and ‘Dulce Et Decorum Est’ are two very different poems indirectly expressing Wilfred Owen and Laurence Binyon’s views on war. The contrast of the poems is mainly down to when they were written as Binyon wrote his poem at the very beginning of the war‚ meaning the poem has a very propagandist and optimistic outlook on the war. He also wrote it before he visited the front in 1916. However Owen wrote his poem near to the end of the war‚ in hospital‚ after fighting on the western front

In this essay I’m going to compare the language‚ of the poem “Dulce es Decorum Est” and “The Send Off”. Even if both poems are war poems and both are written by the same author (Wilfred Owens) the two poems both have similarities and differences. “The send off” tells of a group of soldiers who are being sent off to the Front. No one knows‚ or really cares about them and the poet is sure that most of them will be killed or‚ if they do return‚ they will have been changed forever by their experiences

The speaker describes a vision in a dream of a gas victim ’guttering‚ choking‚ drowning’. The listed verbs are associated with a lack of air and death. The language used in the sections depicting the gas attack is strong‚ representing both the anguish
