... Dulce et Decorum Est Critical Response By Rachel Salter The picture in my mind of war has always been terrifying and brutal, however after studying "Dulce et Decorum Est," cleverly written by Wilfred Owen, I realised that war is much more devastating than I could ever imagine. The poem has been bombarded with skilful and vivid imagery, a range of carefully chosen words and wonderfully constructed sentences. He has created a moving piece of poetry to convey to me the pity and horror of war. Throughout the poem, Owen has used a variety of similes to illustrate a vivid picture of the horror and suffering he was forced to endure. At the very beginning of the poem I am faced with a compelling simile leaving me not only pitiful towards the soldiers but also appalled by the conditions they had to endure, "Like old beggars under sacks." Owens use of imagery shatters any ideas
