One approach to discussing the ways Wilfred Owen and
Siegfried Sassoon present conflict in their poems is to look at the ideas of autonomy,
free will and control. In the time of Tennyson, people-including soldiers-were more
subject to class barriers regarding education. Everyone knew their place and stayed in
it and so there was a tendency by soldiers of any age to 'trust their elders and
betters' in terms of officers, obedience and possible insubordination. Those ideas were
still present in the time of Owen and Sassoon, but equality in education was creeping
up, and questions were starting to be thought, if not asked. We can see this in the
development of the war poetry written by both men. At first the conflict is seen as
regrettable but worthwhile in protecting a beloved homeland.However, the means of it's
execution becomes more and more criticized as the poetry matures until eventually the
glory of dying for one's country is held up to scrutiny.
