Rupert Brooke
In favour of the war, he was an upper class man, he didn't fight. So he didn't see the slaughter of the young men. He was an officer in the navy so he didn't see the battlefield, he died in transit to it due to an infection.
The Soldier
In this poem, we can tell that whilst Brooke never fought in the war, he is in favour of it. This is shown because he never directly talks about the war or the battlefield, he just talks about how great England is.
Wilfred Owen
He died in 1918, he was against the war. He was in the infantry (fanteria) he was NOT in the upper classes.
Was in the trenches, he understood the horror of that situation. Was very patriotic.
Dulce Et Decorum Est
Owens understood the horror of war because he was part of it and lived in the trenches whilst he was fighting. He was also very patriotic. His poem shows the readers all of the horrors that he experienced in the trenches, like getting gassed and watching his friend die.
