Since the poet Wilfred Owen emphasized that his aim from writing war poetry is to reveal (war and the pity of war), as mentioned in his preface, the poem''Dulce Et Decorum Est'' shows this tendency very clearly and in wonderful portrayed picture...

I agree with you Rania Muslim. War is teerible and its effects are certainly disastrous. the world should say:(no for war...Yes for peace ...)

it is one of owen's greatest masterpiece. it reflects the horrors that soldiers face while they are on the battlefield. it is a personal poem and brings out the pity of war. the recurrent nightmares that owen experienced, shows how sorry he felt for his platoon.

I had to do a paper on this poem and I really like it. did you notice the repeated images -- drowning, stumbling, and sleeping? He was an amazing writer, and the comment about him being gay is BS (no offense, but that is REALLY stretching it).

This poem presents how war is harsh,distructive and spiteful.One must remember (The harsh Anglo-American War)on Iraq as he read war poems.

I like that poem very much.It was written in hard situations:when Wilfred Owen was at hospital during the first war world. The poem presents a living experience coverd by the horrors of war and its dangers. I hope you enjoy my humble comment and get use of it.

This poem is great, but unfortunately it is typically misinterpreted. It is Not about war. It is an erudite reference to his secret homosexual love life. Hence his cry "Quick boys." He is going crazy with love which is why he farts- "Gas, Gas." His life has sent him on a path to drugs- "ecstacy," and he wishes that he could go back to leave a normal life. His life now is as he says "vile" "obscene as cancer" and he is living "that old lie."
