Both of these poems cover the theme of a hierarchy. However, they cover it in different ways. In his poem, Owen takes a more analogical approach, drawing parallels between the biblical story of Abram and Isaac and the governmental faculty of the first world war. However, throughout the poem, he makes several deviations from said story, rather than fire and wood, he uses using “fire and iron”, which were the materials used to make guns. Sitwell chooses to display it in a more realistic fashion,…

It was once thought that those who could not hear the flow and intonation of language could not possibly compose one of the most complex and labyrinthine forms of expression (33).
