Dulce Et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen
[b]“Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through
sludge,”Soldiers are supposed to be upright and dignified
as they fight for their nation yet the poet depicts them as beggars
and hags, which are more suitable for old people. Generally,
soldiers are described as representatives of a country, the
backbone of the nation. This shows how the poet views
soldiers.
Question: How does the poet convey the horrors of war in this
poem?
