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

Compare and contrast the styles and techniques of two of the WilfredOwen poems you have studied to render the poets attitude to warWilfred Owen was a war poet from the First World warfare he was born in1893 and died in 1918, whilst shining in the Great War. He wrotehis poetry while sitting as an injured soldier on a hospital bed, andmany say this is where he developed his solar flare for writing. In thisessay, I have decided to analyse two poems Dulce et Decorum est andAnthem for Doomed early days. In my opinion both of these poems portrayOwens exasperation towards the war, but do so in very different ways. I amgoing to compare and contrast the two poems, so that I bother a betteridea of Owens attitude to war.Themes are important to any poem because it is what they are about.The main theme in Dulce et Decorum est is that it is not a gloriousthing to fight for ones country it is actually a exorbitant andtraumatising experience. This is ironic because the name of the poemtransla tes to It is a glorious and honorable thing to fight for onescountry. I think Owen has done this so that he can lead up to thelast line where he is prod people back at home 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 think this is a useful simile because it is something that peopleback at home, reading the poetry, could relate to. Another theme ofthis poem is remainder there 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 painful way of dying.Another example of death is white eyes writhing in his face, hishanging face this is effective to me because the use of repetitionemphasises the read in which the soldier is in, and draws a vividimages in the readers mind. I think these themes show that Owen has abitter attitude towards war because he seems to only note 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 subscribe as they move through
