Both center around the lives of soldiers and soon to be soldiers during the cruel time of the second World War which was happening in Europe.

    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

    reality of  war.  The two texts I am going to refer to‚ to show this are “The long and  the short and the tall” by Wills Hall and "Dulce et decorum Est” by Wilfred Owen.  Wilfred Owen writes his poetry to get over the trauma of the  experience.
