A Critical Analysis Of Three World War One Poems.

‘The Soldier' Rupert Brooke
‘The General' Siegfried Sassoon
‘Dulce Et Decorum Est' Wilfred Owen.

Sassoon and Owen where treated at the same mental hospital during world war one. Do their poems appear to be the work of madmen?

Rupert Brooke's poem ‘The Soldier' was written at the start of World War One, this was before the horror of the trenches was known. The poem is a traditional sonnet in which Brooke expresses his love for England and how he believes it is right to fight and die for his country. However Brooke never discovered what war was like in reality as he died in 1915, before he actually got to fight in the war. Therefore his poem is very idealistic and has a very traditional viewpoint.

Brooke's poem is written in iambic pentameter and has alternate line rhyme he also uses metaphors and euphemism.
Brooke's poem would inspire young men to enlist and would bring comfort to the families of the victims of war.......
