reality of Anthem. Almost all technological advancements were lost during a time we cannot mention. After these times‚ there has been an effort to keep them at bay and eradicate all evidence of its existence in order to keep the society in control. Anthem’s technological primitiveness is due to the fear of the science and technology and its lack of progress is due to the loss of individuality.

descriptions capture the true realities of war in a powerful and emotive way and could be representative of any war. The exploration of the horror of war through the power of poetry is effectively shown through ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’ through the ironic old world view of the glory of serving one’s country and ‘Anthem of Doomed Youth’ which focuses on the tragedy of the lack of recognition given to those that die on the battlefield. Wilfred Owen’s own experience allows him to describe the true and horrific nature
