Contrasting Perspectives on War in "Who's for the Game?" and "Dulce et Decorum Est"

This essay explores the differing viewpoints on war presented in Jessie Pope's "Who's for the Game?" and Wilfred Owen's "Dulce et Decorum Est." It reflects on the heroic and patriotic appeal of war in Pope's poem contrasted with Owen's graphic depiction of the horrors faced by soldiers. By analyzing key quotes from both works, the essay aims to highlight how each poem conveys its perspective on the reality of war—ranging from glorification to the grim experiences of soldiers on the battlefield.

  7. Explore the ways ‘Who’s for the game?’ and ‘Attack’ show different points of view about going to War Attack - By Siegfried Sassoon At dawn the ridge emerges massed and dunIn the wild purple of the glowering sun,Smouldering through spouts of drifting smoke that shroud The menacing scarred slope; and, one by one, Tanks creep and topple forward to the wire. The barrage roars and lifts. Then, clumsily bowedWith bombs and guns and shovels and battle-gear,Men jostle and climb to meet the bristling fire.Lines of grey, muttering faces, masked with fear, They leave their trenches, going over the top, While time ticks blank and busy on their wrists, And hope, with furtive eyes and grappling fists, Flounders in mud. O Jesu, make it stop!
