contrast “Dulce Et Decorum Est” and “Charge Of The Light Brigade”. What images of war do these two poems convey? We have been studying the war poems Dulce Et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen and Charge Of The Light Brigade by Alfred Lord Tennyson. Dulce Et Decorum Est was written during the First World War from 1914 to 1918 whilst Charge Of The Light Brigade was composed in the 19th century‚ and describes a battle that took place during the Crimean War. Both poems give a different impression of war. Wilfred

Wilfred Owen’s poetry revives the horrors of war and displays the inconsistency of war as it dehumanises those who fight‚ therefore giving our humanity to death. War is portrayed as pitiful‚ futile and damaging which thus reveals the true aspects of war rather than the propagandist’s view that displays war as heroic and honourable. This was achieved through Owen’s extensive use of visual and aural imagery‚ which is evident in his poem’s Strange Meeting‚ The Next War‚ and Insensibility which all expose

’Who’s for the Game’ and ’Dulce et Decorum Est’ create very different impressions of war. What contrasting purposes did the poets have as they wrote‚ and how are those purposes reflected in the language they used? Jessie Pope wrote ’Who’s for the Game’ to encourage young men into joining the British army. She wrote it as she believed one hundred percent in the war and the government propaganda. She was very patriotic and wanted to use her writing skills to help the country. Jessie Pope wrote the

In the poems ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’ by Wilfred Owen and ‘Mametz Wood’ by Owen Sheers‚ they both put alarming perspective. This is shown in ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’ when it says ‘The old lie’ and in ‘Mametz Wood’ when it says ‘Towards the wood and its nesting machine guns.’ ‘The old lie’ suggests that it is telling the audience that anything good you hear when people advertise war is misleading and is deceptive to the reader. Saying ‘Towards the wood and its nesting machine guns.’ also suggests that

studied The poem by Wilfred Owen “Dulce et Decorum Est” was written by the poet after his first hand experience of the trenches during WWI‚ and gives us a small insight to what life in the trenches‚ during war‚ was actually like. It gives us a very negative horrific view of war‚ and is definitely a very anti-war poem. The poem “The Charge of the Light Brigade” by Alfred Lord Tennyson however‚ is very pro-war with far more focus being put on the heroism and bravery of the men at war‚ rather than the

The nature of war is horrific and dehumanising. It is an extreme experience that deals with the obscenity of death and sacrifice for your country that pushes the individual to their emotional and physical limitations. Wilfred Owens poetry is a passionate expression of outrage at the horrors of war and of the pity for the young soldiers scarified in it‚ this is shown though a variety of poetic techniques.

Youth and Dulce et Decorum Est All three poems are about the First World War but Peace has a highly patriotic view and displays a positive feeling about war whereas Anthem and Dulce concentrate more on the fact that people were killed for no particular reason and they also look at the true horrors of war.

Fields and Dulce et Decorum Est I noticed that these poems have differences even though they are both based around the same idea. The main similarity that these poems have is that they are both about world war 1. “Dulce et Decorum est” is written by Wilfred Owen‚ Dulce et decorum est means “it is sweet and honourable” This poem is about soldiers fighting in world war 1 who get attacked by chlorine gas and one soldier was unable to put his mask on in time. Wilfred Owen then talks about how the chlorine

Introduction I believe that the First World War is an important time and topic for poetry. It includes some of the most famous poems in history. I will focus on the poem ‘Dulce et Decorum est’ by Wilfred Owen and explain this poets unique perception of war.
