It is my intent to analyze Disabled by Wilfred Owen‚ the majority of which focused on a soldier’s present condition rather than the past; the part that did focus on the past were more pessimistic that this portion.

The poem is divided into two parts‚ with the first one being an introduction to the weather acting as more of the enemy to the British than the Germans were and comparing the war with the Germans less deadly than the war with the environmental conditions.
