Dulce Et Decorum Est Wilfred Owen
1,033 wordsThe two poems Suicide in the Trenches and Dulce Et Decorum Est show resentment toward the war. The reason for this is because both poets Sigfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen had first hand experience in the war unlike their contemporaries Stephen Crane and Rupert Brooke who glorified war and the theme of patriotism. Since Cranes and Brookes poems glorified war and encouraged young men to enroll in the army they would be popular in the war period and so were published before Sassoon's and Owen's wor...

Dulce Et Decorum Est Critical Response

Stanza Donne Writes Care Less Eyes Lips Love
732 wordsSimile and Metaphor in John Donne's "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning" Valediction: a farewell address forbidding his wife to mourn, strikes me as an extraordinot nary title for this poem. Donne's title has an implied meaning that contradicts how this poem leads the reader to believe it's a love poem he writes to his wife before leaving on a journey to France. A love so strong, so pure, that the bond could never possibly be broken, even after death. Two souls who will always be together physic...
