Abstract

The text to be commented upon is a poem written by wilfred owen in 1917 entitled anthem for doomed youth. It is a petrarchan sonnet, a sort of diptych with two different parts which hinges upon lines 9 and 10. The title is a key for the interpretation of the sonnet which is an ideological poem, a denunciation which echoes as an anthem. It connotes a sort of solemnity, a sort of duty to be returned to the youth. In fact, the title contains the reading protocol. The first part of this poem is composed of two quatrains which deal with the violence and the realms of war. We can note that owen uses a sonnet which is the lyrical form par excellence to evoke a violent reality, an event which is opposed to the feeling of love.
