Owens

“Do not weep. War is kind” (Crane). Stephen Crane, Wilfred Owen, Tim O’Brien, and Kevin Powers are four famous writers who lived in a time of war and got to encounter the reality of it.

Auden’s poem’s title, “The Unknown Citizen” begins with a verbal irony. Owen mocks war in his poem, “Dulce et Decorum Est” by showing how sweet and fitting it is to die for one’s country. Both of the poems use irony to present to the reader the pity of war, how there is nothing heroic about the “unknown citizen” and how the two poets have a similar intention on writing these poems.
