Show transcript
Wilfred Owen is widely considered to be one of the most important WW1 poets.
Arguably, Owen’s poetry reveals the horror and futility of war.
‘Disabled’ focuses on an injured soldier in the aftermath of WW1.
We might read ‘Disabled’ as demonstrating how the young men who enlisted did not know what they were signing up for.
We might see ‘Disabled’ as exploring the loss of identity and isolation of soldiers in the aftermath of war.
