... Compare and Contrast Two Poems I have been studying two poems - Coming Home by Curtis Bennet and The Man He Killed by Thomas Hardy. The theme of both poems is war and death. The most obvious example of this is in The Man He Killed: 'quaint and curious war is'. However in Coming Home the theme is not directly referred to. Instead phrases such as 'final military formation' and 'who sent them to fight' are used. My first impression is that Coming Home is more sensitive than The Man He Killed because I believe that the poet is trying to give a shred of dignity to the 'dead young boys and girls' who needlessly perished by not mentioning the way in which they were killed. On the other hand, The Man He Killed is more abrasive which is particularly illustrated when you hear the rhyming as it makes the poem
