Ihave selected three poems, The Soldier, by Rupert Brooke, Dulce etDecorum Est, and Anthem for Doomed Youth, both written by WilfredOwen. I chose Anthem for Doomed Youth and Dulce et Decorum Estbecause they are very similar and show the horrors of the war. On theother hand, I chose The Soldier because it is a complete contrastand is about the remembrance of the soldiers, who are portrayed asheroes.Wilfred Edward Salter Owen was born on March 18, 1893. He was abroadteaching until he visited a hospital for the wounded, he then decidedto return to England in 1915 and enlisted. Owen was injured in March1917 and was sent home. By august 1917 he was cons idered fit for dutyand he then returned to the front lines. Just seven geezerhood before theArmistice he was shot dead by a German machine gun attacker. Owen wasonly twenty-five years old.The title Dulce et Decorum Est is part of a Latin saying, Dulce etdecorum est Pro patria mori, which means it is sweet and fitting todie for ones country. But using this title it makes the poem seem asif it is going to glorify the war and all the people who fought forEngland in it. Owen writes from experience and from within a group ofsoldiers.

The Soldierhas an instruction and how to honour the deceased soldiers.Dulce et Decorum Est is a first hand experience of life on the frontlines, in contrast to The Soldier which is from Rupert Brookes mindas he never fought i n the war.The Soldier may have given families of soldiers hope, incontradiction to Dulce et Decorum Est which may have caused bigamounts of controversy and hatred towards Wilfred Owen.In studying the poems and comparing them there is a final conclusion.Wilfred Owens poems have a tendency to be more explicit and striking, eon Rupert Brooke glorifies the war and the soldiers who fought init. This is because Wilfred Owen was strongly against war and feltthat people who were supporters of the war should understand what theyhad to go through.
