Dulce et Decorum Est

English
1 answer:
s2008m [1.1K]2 years ago
3 0

After reading and analyzing the poem "Dulce et Decorum Est," by Wilfred Owen, we can answer in the following manner:

6. a) The action of the poem changes abruptly from the first stanza to the second. In the first stanza, the speaker conveys a sense of slowness and exhaustion as the soldiers limp through the mud.

In the second stanza, as gas-shells are dropped, the soldiers begin to run, yell, and stumble. The action changes from slow and tired to clumsy, fast, and desperate.

b) The language in the poem shows the abrupt change described above. In the first stanza, the author uses words such as "bent", "limped", and "fatigue" to convey how difficult it is for soldiers to walk being hurt and how tired they are.

In the second stanza, the author uses words such as "ecstasy", "clumsy", "yelling", and "stumbling". With those, he conveys the how hectic things get once the gas-shells are dropped.

  • The poem "Dulce et Decorum Est" was published in 1921, after the first World War.
  • Its name alludes to the line by the poet Horace, "<u>Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori</u>," which means "it is sweet and fitting to die for one's homeland."
  • The poem by Wilfred Owen shows that it is not sweet nor fitting to die in a war.
  • He describes the horrific image of a soldier drowning in his own blood and he is hit by a gas-shell.
  • The poet advises against asking other to go fight in a war by using Horace's words.
  • Only the soldiers who actually go and fight know of the real horrors of war - none of it is sweet.

  • Beatrice is portrayed as opinionated and is not afraid to speak her mind.  Once in love with Benedick is now quite apathetic towards him and is often against him trying to put him down with her words and sarcastic comments.
  • She is also cousin to Beatrice.  Portrayed as having a comely character, she is also generous.  She falls victim of Don John’s plot and goes against Don Pedro and Claudio- her lover. She is also portrayed as easily forgiving Claudio after he repents for calling her unfaithful.
