Text Response Paragraph: “How does Owen convey the suffering of war?” For Owen‚ the anguish brought about by war is manifest within the wretched psychological state of the soldiers embroiled in conflict. Owen depicts a view of the war that is undeniably bleak‚ illustrating a conflict that ensnares its combatants within a vacillating state of dull monotony and high tension. Within “Dulce et Decorum Est”‚ the reaction of simply “turning their backs” evidenced by the soldiers trudging in the “sludge”

choking‚ drowning". The list and repetition of these words strongly emphasises how horrifying and painful this lingering death is. The drowning noises convey that the man is trying to get help but is helpless himself; Owen is probably traumatised himself as he is haunted by these words from the repetition which creates an image that it is never going to go away‚ it will always come back.

fell. However‚ we only know about this story through Gertrude‚ and she claims Ophelia “chanted snatches of old lauds” as she drowned. It is highly improbable that the Queen‚ or anyone‚ witnessed the drowning. Shakespeare’s inclusion of this detail indicates that Gertrude is misrepresenting the drowning. Gertrude presents the audience with this glorified‚ peaceful description of death. Ophelia is likened to mermaid with her “clothes spread wide.” She slowly sinks to the bottom
