Compare and contrast the styles and techniques of two of the Wilfred :: English Literature

Comp ar and contrast the styles and techniques of deuce of the WilfredOwen poems you bring in studied to demonstrate the poets attitude to struggleWilfred Owen was a war poet from the First World War he was born in1893 and died in 1918, whilst fighting in the Great War. He wrotehis poetry bit sitting as an injured soldier on a hospital bed, andm some(prenominal) say this is where he developed his flair for writing. In thisessay, I take up decided to analyse two poems Dulce et Decorum est and anthem for ill-fated Youth. In my opinion both of these poems portrayOwens anger towards the war, however do so in very different ways. I amgoing to compare and contrast the two poems, so that I induct a betteridea of Owens attitude to war.Themes are important to any poem because it is what they are closely.The main theme in Dulce et Decorum est is that it is not a gloriousthing to fight for ones country it is actually a horrific andtraumatising experience. This is ironic because the nam e of the poemtranslates to It is a glorious and dear thing to fight for onescountry. I imply Owen has done this so that he can lead up to the resist line where he is urging people back at base to cease tellingtheir children the old lie and to me this is effective. Stanza threeis writing about the tragedy of war it says Obscene as cancer, andI study this is a useful simile because it is something that peopleback at home, reading material the poetry, could relate to. Another theme ofthis poem is death thither are many occasions in which Owen talks aboutdeath. I have chosen guttering, choking, drowning as an examplebecause it portrays an image of a horrific and irritating way of end.Another example of death is white eyes sinuous in his face, hishanging face this is effective to me because the use of repetitionemphasises the disk operating system in which the soldier is in, and draws a vividimages in the readers mind. I moot these themes show that Owen has abitter attitude towa rds war because he seems to only if mention a badside of war as if there is no glorious part.The main theme in stanza one of Anthem for Doomed Youth however isthe lack of a funeral for people dying in the war. An example of thisis choirs of wailing shells this means that the only choir theyhave when they die is the sound the shells make as they move through
