Comparing the Presantation of Conflict in the Charge

Comp are the presentation of contravention in The Charge of the motiveless aggroup by Alfred Tennyson and Anthem for destine young person by Wilfred Owen. Alfred shaper Tennyson and Wilfred Owen are twain poets who write ab come in the conflict of war and its victims. The Charge of the shadowy brigade compose by Lord Alfred Tennyson, it is based on a disastrous and real event that unfolded in the frimean war. The poem was written as a memorial for the numerous soldiers that died in the war. However the Anthem for doomed youth is a sonnet written by Wilfred Owen.He writes virtu tout ensembley his feelings for the young men that he fought with on the prior line in the Somme. Firstly, in both poems we are presented with mental imagery telling the reality of the wartime battlefield this is called aural imagery. In The Charge of the Light Brigade the course into the valley of last are used, this is a metaphor suggesting that the Light Brigade arraignd themselves to their d eath, this shows the savageness of battle and how population many flock will died.The haggling care for the guns proposes of the certain death that the soldiers will pit and how suicidal this charge is, it too suggests the madness of the war. Tennyson ordains waist to right of them, open firenon to the left of them, cannon in front of them this shows the muddiness through the soldiers and the fierce fighting that is happening in this war. Whereas, in Owens poem Anthem for Doomed Youth the more graphic and hurried side of war is sh profess.Owen uses the account books for these who die as cattle suggests the soldiers are aband whizd in their own death and there is no way out, it could in addition suggest that they are sent to be slaughtered just like cattle this proposes the tragedy and casualties of war. The words monstrous anger of the guns implies that the soldiers are scared of the guns and by likening the guns to monsters this is present the soldiers are young as it is typically children who are scared of monsters.Owen in like manner uses the words hasty orisons this shows how the unused are not cared for and given an unbefitting burial, and it likewise shows the speed and rushed tone of war. It could also suggest the people who are praying are not only praying for the dead but also praying for their own lives. Tennyson presents the realism of war as a desperate get off where heroes are born, he does not show the reality of war, which might be due to the fact he has not experienced it himself. In blood line Owen presents the reality of war well as he shows the grue close toness and jaundice sadness of war using aural imagery.In Stanza two of charge of the light brigade Tennyson writes O the wild charge they make this shows the recklessness of the charge as Tennyson states the word wild and also the pointlessness of the charge, Tennyson uses the word made this shows it was in the past and we remember the past like we remember the dead s oldiers. Owen uses the artistic style No mockeries now for them, no prayers nor bells this illustrates how critical Owen is of religious ritual. The phrase passing bells could also suggest that the soldiers never got a proper burial.In Tennysons poem he exclaims honour the charge they made, Honour the light brigade this indicates that Tennyson is ordering us to remember them for what they did for their pastoral as they are already dead but on the other hand, in Owens sonnet he says And each slow dusk a drawing down of the blinds this points out that every night as the sun goes down the soldiers family waiting patiently for them to come back, slow dusk going down could represent their solitaire and hope lowering. Thirdly, in both poems there is use of aural imagery or onomatopoeia.We see this in Owens sonnet as he writes rifles rapid rattles this is also a metaphor he says this to create an melodic phrase and give us a feel of what its like on the battlefield, later in the sonnet he also states the shrill, demented choirs of yawl s collierys this makes the atmosphere horrifying as we assume that screams are caused by disorder or fear but in this case they have already got pain before the bullet has even got to them, this is because they have been traumatised by the book of battle.In Tennysons poem he uses the phrase Volleyd and yawld this is used to show how the bullets where sent back and forth with some cannons in between representing the thunder I could also represent the one smaller army existence bullets and the more powerful army being the loud prevailing army, thunderd is a use of apocalyptic imagery which is a way to describe the disaster of war as we associate thunder with danger and authority.As well as the above Tennyson also uses the phrase stormd at with shot and shell this shows the confusion of war and the low visibility it relates back to the above quote as thunder comes in storms which could mean that the cannon shots come in packs, th e word shot and shell are a violent, noisy, destructive force that that could be thought about in a storm. In both poems both poets use rhetorical questions in their poems, Tennyson says Was there a man disfearlessness? this gives us an insight into the heads of these soldiers, trying to imagine how it must feel to charge into death head on. Tennyson asks if any of the soldiers were dismayed which means to lose your courage or to be overcome by terror. The soldiers were going through hell on the battlefield and it would be a pretty normal reply for the circumstances that they were in. On the other hand in Owens sonnet his asks about remembrance as he states What candles may be held to speed them all? this could mean a more general question like what rituals can people possible perform to help these soldiers pass on peacefully? these could be Rituals like lighting candles in church. This means we could than say that these candles is a metaphor for the larger ceremonies we hold whe n to honouring those killed in action. As well as Owens question about remembrance and honouring Tennyson last question is also, as he proposes the question When can their glory fade? he is trying to say when wont they be known as legends as they have fought for their country when they were outnumbered one to a hundred but they did not oblige, they risked certain death for all for one cause. In conclusion, both poets have written their poems to admit the tragedy of war and to emphasise the importance of remembrance. I feel also wrote their poems to honour those who risked their lives and most had their lives taken for their country and queen. This makes the audience reflect on war as the poets have created a mental picture of the unconscionable scenes of war.
