Thomas Edward’s As the Team’s Head Brass (1916) is a well-known poem, which focuses on attitudes towards World War I articulated by non-soldiers who stay behind in England and do not fight. In short, the poem depicts a conversation between the speaker of the poem, who is walking through the English countryside, and a farmer occupied ploughing a field with a team of horses. The conversation eventually leads to the topic of war, since World War I took place when Thomas wrote the poem. The two men discourse in pieces, as the farmer ploughs up and down the field; each time he reaches the end of the field where the speaker stays, they exchange a couple more words.

The first device used by Owen in the poem is without a doubt the title, in which he uses to establish the opposing side of the argument in the poem. The poem is titled, “Dulce et Decorum Est”, which comes from Horace’s Odes, book three, line 13, and translated into English to mean: “It is sweet

Nothing will end war unless the people refuse to go to war”, Albert Einstein. Stephen Crane, the author of “War is Kind”, had no experience with war; that was until the Spanish-American War, where he became a foreign war correspondent. “Dulce et Decorum Est”, was written by Wilfred Owen; Owen survived as a foot soldier during World War I and lost his life fighting for his country.

The mood and tone are very different and the author's ideas differ. They are both going to give you a different side on the war, weather you should or shouldn't go to war.

The Portrayal of War in Charge of the Light Brigade and Dulce et Decorum Est

The poems I have chosen to compare in this essay are Wilfred Owen's “Dulce Et Decorum Est” and Jessie Pope's “Who's For The Game?”.

My first poem, Dulce et decorum, is against the war and the injustice of it all. It is narrated by one of the soldiers who is fighting in the Great War and having to face the horrors of war.

Jessie Pope writes to encourage men to explain that war is an adventure, that men should experience. On the other hand, Wilfred Owen writes about the horrors he experienced at war.

The poems “Dulce et Decorum Est” and “Done with Bonaparte” show what war is like. “Dulce et Decorum Est” written by Wilfred Owen, is based on his experience during World War I.

Poetry Analysis Essay- Dolce Et Decorum Est Dolce Et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen, describes the brutal reality of war while the soldiers experience the horrific events of a gas attack, some of them narrowly missing death and some being not so lucky. Essentially, the theme of the conflict occurring within the poem is Man vs War. Written from the perspective of a soldier experiencing the war, Owens has also used various poetic devices, a controversial title and ending and a tone that sets the mood within the conflict to accurately retell the events of the war.

Using little truth and all lies, unlike talking about the true horrors of war in the poems ‘Dulce et decorum est’ and ‘Suicide in the trenches’, leaving the soldier in the dark away from the real truth of the war. In this poem Pope uses a light tone to promote the war by comparing war to as if it is game, that it will be a fun experience just like in a game. Pope's poem was written as a piece of propaganda intending to persuade those of the men reading it to enlist in the war. A quote from the poem showing this “Who’ll grip and tackle the hob unafraid? And who thinks he’d rather sit tight?”. Pope uses guilt to encourage those of men to enlist by mentioning that those that don't enlist will be seen as essentially a coward, as they’d rather sitting on the sidelines and watch the fight rather than take part with their country. This poem and ‘The soldier’ connect through the same use of persuasion and encouragement to enlist in the war for their country.
