The collection of poems I am analyzing covers a time span of over 60 years, from 1854 to 1917. All of the poems were composed during a period of conflict, giving insight into the authors’ understanding of the events and their impact. As such, they offer an authentic representation of prevailing attitudes during this historical […]
In both ‘The Ghost Road’ and ‘The Poems of Wilfred Owen’, one sees the brutal effects of the First World War through the experiences of those directly involved, the soldiers. They suffered immensely, from shell shock, paralysis and also loneliness, and homesickness. In Pat Barkers ‘The Ghost Road’, she concentrates mainly on two characters’ experiences, […]

‘The Catcher In the Rye’, written by J. D. Salinger is a bildungsroman in which Holden Caulfield, a misanthropic sixteen-year-old, narrates a story concerning three, eventful days of his life. Among the several themes successfully portrayed throughout the novel, the theme of isolation is most prominent, as Holden constantly feels detached from the society in […]
If there was one primary objective behind Wilfred Owen’s war poetry, it would be to uncover the fallacy that war is constantly justifiable and a noble cause to die for one’s nation. Owen had personally witnessed the terrible atrocities and sorrows of the First World War, which led him to expose the deceitful facade and […]
I am going to discuss the changing attitudes to war by two World War One poets, by comparing their poems. I have chosen to compare the poems “Dulce et Decorum est” by Wilfred Owen, which was written between 1925-1918. The other poem is “The Soldier” written by Rupert Brooke in 1915. Owen describes war as […]
During and before the First World War, between the year 1914 and 1918, there were many recruitment banners, recruitment poems, and many other ways to encourage young men to go to war. When the war began in August 1914, Britain relied only on a small professional force, unlike most other European and Global countries that […]
‘The Soldier’, penned by Wilfred Owen, and ‘Dulce et Decorum est’, authored by Rupert Brooke, were both written during the period of World War 1, also known as ‘The Great War’, which took place from 1914 to 1918. This conflict was a significant event that shaped the course of European history. During World War 1, […]
There have been many wars throughout time. Most people learn the facts through: papers, films, books or poems, but I am comparing two similar poems which have different meanings. Wilfred Owen who wrote the poem ‘Dulce et Decorum est’ or Lord Alfred Tennyson who wrote ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’. They are both based […]

My essay is going to discuss the comparisons and contrasts of the three poems I have chosen. The first is called ‘In Flanders Fields’ and is written by John McCrae, born in 1872-1918. McCrae was a Canadian doctor who first served as a gunner in Europe and gradually became a military medical officer. He partook […]
The setting of the poem contributes greatly to the meaning. The title, “Casualty-Mental Ward” is essential to understanding the setting. I personally think that the setting takes place in a mental ward itself and that the speaker is a patient there. This can be seen by looking at line 16, “As all eyes close, they […]
War in general is a vastly expansive topic. It is an inclusive universal experience, which involves people of all ages. As a result of this universality it triggers many feelings in a person to express their emotions; this is normally shown through poetry or novels. Being such an emotive topic, which Shall result from the […]

Prior to its implementation, the government applied immense social pressure on young British men to enlist voluntarily. To encourage enlistment, the government launched a large-scale recruitment […]
Throughout history, changes in public understanding and technology have impacted attitudes towards war. In the late 16th and early 17th centuries, Shakespeare’s Othello and Henry V portrayed war differently than poets during World War I. Given the differences in warfare across these periods, it is not surprising that attitudes have evolved over time. The portrayal […]

In the poem “The Send-Off”, Wilfred Owen describes war in a graphical and technical way.

How horrible is war? The two writers Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon have had enough of war, and so these two men want to show the rest of the Untied Kingdom, war is not as it is set out to be. World War 1 was shocking and horrifying. Many, truly believed it was honourable to […]
