Wilfrid Owen’s poem “Disabled” and Robert Frost’s poem “Out! Out!” both portray a strong theme of loss throughout the poems. “Disabled” portrays a young man who has lost part of himself on the battlefields of World War One. His young once self-content was shattered when he came back from war. “Out! Out!-” is a dark and sinister poem where a young boy has an accident with a buzz saw, and losses his life. Both poems manage to captivate the reader’s attention, and also convey sympathy. Both Owen and
The theme of infancy and youthfulness is explored in both texts. Childhood is typically a joyous time of life and children are often presented as being innocent but also vulnerable and fragile. This essay will use ‘Out, Out -’ by Robert Frost to explore the theme of childhood. It is set in Vermont in the midst of WWI.
