    scene that stood out during the play is Scene Four of Act Three, the celebration that Macbeth and the Lords hold in honor of Macbeth’s new throne of power. While both Roman Polanski’s and Rupert Goold’s variations of the famous play portray this scene, it can be spoken, and quite explicitly that is, that Goold has created an excellent display of the beginning of Macbeth’s spiral into insanity and self-delusion.

    Ok what I have got here today is a detailed speech and I intend to explain two poems “Disabled” and “Dolce et Decorum est.”, both written by Wilfred Owen. I would choose these two poems to be in an anthology because I found the poems to be very dramatic and extremely detailed. Owen intends to shock us by demonstrating what a soldier might expect in a situation between life and death. He is not afraid to show his own feelings. Wilfred Owen is an anti-war poet and expresses his ideas and feelings through

    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.

War is a constant in an ever changing world. It is easy to see that fighting is an almost futile attempt to conquer and prevail. The poetry from the
