SUMMARY OF POEM DULCE ET DECORUM EST- BY WILFRED
OWEN
IN THE POEM’ DULCE ET DECORUM EST’, THE POET WILFRED OWEN IS PUTTING
BEFORE THE READER THE COLD REALITY OF WHAT WAR IS ACTUALLY LIKE, HE
CONVEYS THE HORROR THE WAR, THE FUTILITY OF WAR AND THE TERRIBLE
DEATHS OF THE SOLDIERS WHO HAVE GONE INTO THE BATTLE WITH A GREAT
SENSE OF PARTRIOTISM EMBODIED IN THE LINES ‘DULCE ET DECORUM EST’
...
IN VERSE ONE, THE SOLDIERS ARE RETREATING FROM THE ACTUAL
SEEN OF WARFARE AND WERE MAKING FOR THEIR ENCAMPMENTS OR TENTS
WHERE THEY HOPED TO GAIN SOME REST
...
THIS IS NOT BECAUSE OF ANY LOAD BUT
BECAUSE OF EXTREME FATIGUE
...
SOME WERE LIMPING ON BLOODY FEET WHILE SOME WERE LAME
AND BLIND
...
JUST AS SUDDENLY OUT OF NOWHERE THERE WAS AMUSTARD GAS
ATTACK UPON THEM WHICH SEVERAL OF THEM UNAWARE
...
THE GREEN SEA MENTIONED HERE IS THE CHLORINE GAS WHICH HAS THE ABILITY
TO CHOKE, RENDER UNCONSIOUS AND TO SUFFOCATE
...
IN THE THIRD VERSE THE POET VIVIDLY DESCRIBES THE DYING
MOMENTS OF ONE OF HIS SOLDIER WHO WAS THROWN INTO THE WAGON AND
PERHAPS THE POET WAS CLOSE BY WATCHING HIM
...
THIS SOLDIER WAS A
VICTIM OF HORRID DEATH WHICH COULD NOT BE ELIVIATED BY ANY BODY
...
THE POET IS
SURE THAT THOSE WHO PROPAGATE WAR JUST LIKE HIS FRIEND JESSIPOE DO
NOT HAVE A REAL IDEA OF WHAT WAR IS
...
THE POET DENOUNCES THE
PHRASE SO OFTEN QUOTED AS A LIE
...
THE POET HAS USED SEVERAL FIGURES OF SPEECH TO PROVE HIS
OPINION
...
THE POEM AND THE TITLE ARE A CONTRAST
...
THE
SECOND IRNOY IS THE VERY TONE OF POEM WHICH SHOWS THE REALITY OF WAR
BY WHICH THE POET WISHES TO PROVE THAT IT IS NOT SWEET AND HONORABLE
TO DIE FOR ONE’S COUNTRY
...
THERE ARE MANY SIMILIES LIKE OLD BEGGARS, LIKE A MAN IN FIRE OR LIME, A
DEVIL SICK OF SIN, OBSCENE AS CANCER, BITTER AS CUD
...
THE POET HOPES THROUGH THE USE OF VERBAL WORDS LIKE
GUTTERING, CHOKING, DROWNING AND WRITHERING THAT A CLEAR PICTURE IS
POSSIBLE BEFORE THE MIND OF THE READER AND TO PRESS HOME HIS POINT
THAT THE REALITY OF WAR IS TERRIBLE BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF INNOCENT
LIVES
