In this essay I will compare the ways in which Owen suggests that war is futile, I will compare the poems The Hymn for the Doomed Youth is a well known poem written by Wilfred Owen which incorporates the theme of the horror of war, it was written between September and October 1917 while Owen was in hospital. In sonnet form, ANTHEM FOR DOOMED YOUTH is an elegy, a lament for the dead, a judgment on Owen's war experience rather than an account of the experience itself. Doomed Youth is Right, Futility a short two-stanza poem written during the First World War, and Exposure transports the reader into the merciless trench warfare of the First World War. It takes the form of a short elegiac poem the length of a sonnet although unstructured. as one, being divided into stanzas of seven lines. Owen was a famous British poet born on March 18. It gave us a glimpse of “Hell” or otherwise known as WWI. Owen was a young man of 18 when he enlisted in the army. He was drawn into war propaganda perceived as soft, Owen was shot a week while leading his men across the canal aged just 25, a week before Armistice Day, the war left him an unusually habitual slight stutter. among poets. People joined the army for money without knowing the cruel and horrible factor of a soldier's life and most ended up dying, leaving their wife and children at home without financial support, so the wife would remarry, which was very common, or find a job for herself. and older children would take care of their younger siblings or they would start working unless they were already working. Hymn for Convicted Youth and Exposure both have a family related theme "And the bugles calling them from sad counties" their family at home are devastated in the middle of the document......and how war was futile for Owen on a spiritual level, because all she did was weaken his faith in God. Conclusion: Owen had provided us with an insightful insight into how futile war was for soldiers. But the most striking way that Owen shows us that war is futile is by writing poems for reading in which he explains the negative side of war as opposed to the positive side that is constantly portrayed. The constant positive portrayal of war to people influences their decision to join the army because it shows the individual in a righteous and noble position, but Owen challenged this image unlike many others like Pope. Owen's highlight was telling us what war life was really like and he wrote his poems in a beautiful and heartwarming way. The poems touched the hearts of our ancestors and our hearts and it allowed us to have a glimpse of their lives, a percentage of the pain. they felt.
