Dulce et Decorum est by Wilfred Owen
- He fought in WWI
- He was diagnosed with shell shock and sent to Craig Lockhart hospital, he was then sent back to war
- He wrote this poem in
direct response to
Jessie Pope's war
propaganda poem,
The Call
- He died two days before Armistice Day
- 'Men marched asleep.', the caesura symbolises the end of their life,
as not paying attention caused them to die
- 'Men marched asleep.', the caesura symbolises the end of their life,
as not paying attention caused them to die
- 'old beggars', this could
suggest that they're begging
for their lives back
- It has an alternate line rhyme scheme, which shows the repetitive nature of war, but also how unnatural it is as
normally when you respond to someone (Jessie Pope) you don't talk in a rhyme
- 'devil's sick of sin', the devil wouldn't be
fed up of sin, which conveys how
unimaginable his face looks
- 'all my dreams', the superlative all helps to underscore the repeated horror of this dying man in his dreams
- There is lots of auditory description using onomatopoeia like 'hoots' and 'gargling', this helps to envisage
the view, which is obviously his intention (to show you the horrors of the war)
- 'The old Lie', lie is
capitalised which helps
to underscore the
power of the word and
how horrendous the lie
is
