'Analysis of the poem A strange Meeting Essay\r'
'In the elegy ââ¬Å"strange Meeting ââ¬Å", Owen brings the horrors of wars and their waste effect on those involved, he emphasizes their explode in hindering the humans from promote . War and death are presented in this song through the story of cardinal dead soldiers ,who fought on opposite sides , and who stomach again in sinning . They tattle of their shared hopefulness of the ââ¬Å"und unrivalled years ââ¬Â . Owenââ¬â¢s manipulation of articulates and his use of aesthetic devices in the poem takes the reader to a vivid awareness of the real dreadfulness of battles and death. The speaker in the poem ,who is a soldier, starts the poem by face that he seemed to ââ¬Â escapeââ¬Â the battle to somewhere else , a place he discovers later to be Hell . The mere use of the word ââ¬Â escape ââ¬Â implies that the speaker was trapped in war before he escapes to Hell which is , when compared to battle, a relief.\r\nOwen says that common words associated with wars care chivalry , courage and gallantry do non describe wars, not really, sort of war is pain , sorrow and wrong . He emphasizes on the destructiveness of wars to those involved . He says ââ¬Â thus far in addition there relievorict sleepers groaned ââ¬Â , so they are ââ¬Â encumbered ââ¬Â physically with their uniforms and sacks and emotionally with overly much lugubriousness and sorrow brought to them by war . Those sleepers are ââ¬Â too fast in position or death ââ¬Â to be stir . One of those sleepers ââ¬Â sprang up ââ¬Â from death and make a faces , although he smiles only still it is a smile of death . That man recognizes the speaker for he, the speaker, is the one who killed him as we k at a time later in the poem . The poet describes this other manââ¬â¢s face as ââ¬Â grained ââ¬Â with ââ¬Â a constant of gravitation pains ââ¬Å", pains from his previous sprightliness and past hold outs in battle . at present they are in He ll , a place of anguish and despair , a place where shouts of pain and tor handst is expect , but oh no , not in this poem .\r\nHell is a stop place where there is silence ââ¬Â yet no broth r severallyed there from the speed ground ââ¬Â ââ¬Â and no guns thumped , or eat the flues made moan ââ¬Â . So experience draws a picture of silence in Hell and contrasts this picture with battle where noise, blood and moans are everywhere . The speaker says almost Hell that ââ¬Â here is no energize to mourn ââ¬Â no more sadness or sadness . The stranger agrees with him ââ¬Â no(prenominal) ââ¬Â as if they are both projecting that it finally Al Neghaimshi 2 stop , finally they will remnant . ââ¬Â dispense with the undone years , the hopelessness ââ¬Â This is their wholly regret . They shared so numerous in the past , the two of them , convertible lives , experiences and similar horrors and pains that they could be called ââ¬Å"friends ââ¬Â in spite of the fact that they are real strangers . ââ¬Å"Strange Friend ââ¬Â as anomalous as it seems but still dependable , ââ¬Â Whatever hope is yours , was my life excessively ââ¬Â .\r\nOwen argues that wars ââ¬Â trekââ¬Â the nations from progress and he calls it ââ¬Â retreating world ââ¬Â . The poet says ââ¬Â when much blood had clogged their chariot-wheels ââ¬Â he would go and ââ¬Â wash them ââ¬Â . Owen takes into his hands as a poet ââ¬Â to warn ââ¬Â as he said himself once , ââ¬Â Even with truths that lies too deep ââ¬Â . He says he will do it ââ¬Â not through wounds ; not on the cess of war ââ¬Â , so it is not through innocent plenty , not through wars that destroys the lives of many . ââ¬Â Forehead of manpower have bled where no wounds were ââ¬Â thatââ¬â¢s a clear indication to the myth of christ which says that before he was crucified his body endeavor blood , He was the one who paying for the sins of the humank ind and so are those men paying their lives in wars whom foreheads ââ¬Â bled where no wounds were ââ¬Â .\r\nââ¬Â I am the enemy you killed , my friend ââ¬Â a beautiful line towards the end of the poem . Although we stand in life unalike and enemies , but we shared the same experience and will share the same requisite . He closes the poem by saying ââ¬Â let us sleep now ..ââ¬Â let us finally placidity and forget the horrors and pains . So humorous of Owen to let his protagonist finally rest in ââ¬Â Hellââ¬Â . Arenââ¬â¢t people who fight for their countries are supposed to be martyrs and go to Heaven ? It is Owenââ¬â¢s look of doubting the motility which wars stand for , the cause after all is false . Owen by letting his two protagonist rest in Hell , he also conveys the message that Mankind moldiness strain reconciliation , stop this bloodshed , they must embrace pity and love for each other . Owen writes this beautiful elegy that dialogue about war and death , but what is most ironical is that he himself dies in war .\r\n'
