World War One poets Rupert Brooke and Wilfred Owen both use poetry to examine their differing perspectives surrounding the idea of heroism in war. Brooke’s The Soldier depicts an idealistic, patriotic view towards fighting for his country, whereas Owen’s Dulce et Decorum est demonstrates a realistic view of the senseless horrors of war. Both poets utilise similar poetic techniques of imagery and sound devices to express their contradictory views of the atrocious events of the greatest war that the

The poem ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’ by Wilfred Owen portrays the horrors of World War I with the horrific imagery and the startling use of words he uses. He describes his experience of a gas attack where he lost a member of his squadron and the lasting impact it had on him. He describes how terrible the conditions were for the soldiers and just how bad it was. By doing this he is trying to help stop other soldiers from experiencing what happened in a shortage of time. Owen opens his poem with a strong

dislike of how war is portrayed in his poems “Dulce et Decorum” and “Disabled”. Owen enlisted to fight in World War I in 1915 after teaching English for two years in Bordeaux. It was during his enlistment that he was sent to the front lines of the war in France. Two years later Owen was sent to the Craiglockhart War Hospital to be treated for shell shock until he could return to combat. Then, in 1918 five of his poems were published and he was killed in combat one week before the war end. His poems

written by Wilfred Owen about his time in ‘the great war’ and all the terrible things the soldiers had to go through and all the pain it caused to not only the soldiers but also the people still at home and because of this and many other reasons these poems do reflect their context really well. And in these poems we get a first person view over the war as Wilfred Owen was also in the war, so he wrote a much clearer poem than those who weren’t in the war or who stayed home during the rough times.

“If war is eternal – Hemingway has called it one of the great themes of man, along with love and death – it is also eternally lamentable and horrendous, no less than in our country today, when our nation is in the midst of a war perhaps more horrible for un-necessity” (Brik 7).

deadly war gases. First, the tribunal establishes valuing sanctity of life as a primary objective in war time. This is due to the uncertain nature of war. Some may argue that all actors should value life in general; however, there are no correct predictions in war. Even the best strategists cannot determine exactly which courses of action will lead to exactly how many lives lost. Thus, there is no guarantee, and therefore there is no correct guess. That

futility, the suffering and the pity of war from his personal experience on the battlefields. He was horrified with the devastating futile waste of life, the “inhumanity of man” and the depth of its catastrophic effects on young men. In his poems ‘Anthem for Doomed Youth’, ‘Futility’ and ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’, he writes with intense focus on war as an extraordinary human experience. The poems also intentionally document other experiences: the horror of war in ‘Futility’; emotional, physical and even
