Dulce et Decorum Est' by Wilfred Owen and 'The Soldier' ​​by Rupert Brooke are both poems that comment on the effects of war, but both have two drastically different points of view. Both poems are examples of the authors' perception of war; Owen talks about the harsh and gruesome reality during his experience and Brooke talks about the glory of dying for your country. Poets express their sentimental emotions on the subject in terms of figurative language, tone, diction, and imagery. Tone is exhibited through the use of vivid and uncompromising imagery, primarily through the use of compelling metaphors and similes. Both poets revolve around the idea of ​​death in the name of one's country, in this case England in the World War I era, but this example serves different purposes in the two poems. Owen uses a graphic example in which he remorsefully describes death from a gas attack, exposing to his readers that war is an ugly, brutal, and detestable encounter. However, Brooke uses a different approach and states that not only is it every man's duty to fight and die for his country to preserve perfection, but that once dead, the ashes will physically enrich the already 'rich' soil. “In that rich land, a richer dust hidden.” And all the "English" values ​​that the motherland brought with it will live on in one form or another. In this way Brooke tries to convince that there is a deeper meaning than what lies on the surface of the war. Underneath each poem there are also religious overtones. Owen uses "Dulce et Decorum Est" to portray war as the epitome of hell, juxtaposing the devil with the gassed man. In contrast, Brooke uses 'The Soldier' ​​to convey 'England' rather as 'heaven', and that it is right to defend such a land in war. In the poem "Dulce et Decorum Es...... middle of paper . .....in reference to the war, in fact, almost opposite opinions, each poet uses different types of diction, figurative language, images, sounds and tones to achieve its goal. There are also a multitude of differences between 'Dulce et Decorum Est' and "The Soldier" While "Dulce et Decorum Est" conveys the merciless reality of war and mocks the very act of patriotic death, Brooke uses "The Soldier" to emphasize that it is undeniably an honor to die for one's country upon which to build his tone, Owen uses more harsh and repulsive onomatopoeic words that make "g", "c" (k) and many hissing sounds, which continue to keep you on your toes-" bang your knees... mud... trudge... gutters... suffocate... gargle". Brooke uses softer words, such as to make 'f' sounds has a bitter and cynical tone aided by changes in rhythm that travel back and forth.
