... Rebecca Newiss GCSE English Coursework 11O2 Miss Walsh Analyse the two poems 'Dulce et Decorum est' by Wilfred Owen and 'Charge of the Light Brigade' by Alfred Lord Tennyson. Then, compare their differing views on warfare. In this essay I intend to discuss the two passionately opinionated war poems, 'Dulce et Decorum est' by Wilfred Owen based on WW1 and 'Charge of the Light Brigade' by Alfred Lord Tennyson which portrays the Crimean war against Russia. Both poems are heart wrenching, emotional and thought provoking, and expressively highlight the issues of war, glory, death and heroism, all in explicit detail and compelling imagery. I shall compare how one author can see war as glorious and exciting whereas the other empathises on suffering, injury and loss and tells us the reality in gruesome and uninhibited detail. I shall study how different authors present and explore the brutal realism of war, death and glory
