Anthem distinctive By concluding the sonnet with “And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds,” Owen subverts the traditional sonnet form, replacing the themes of love and celebration typically associated with the genre with an atmosphere of grief and mourning.
Dulce distinctive Through the first-person statement “I saw him drowning,” Owen adopts the persona of a traumatised eyewitness, lending authenticity to his account and exposing the devastating impact of war on soldiers
Disabled distinctive Owen uses the juxtaposition in “In the old times, before he threw away his knees” to contrast youth with disability, past with present, and expectation with reality, highlighting the devastating transformation caused by war.
Futility distinctive Owen uses witness-speaker persona in re limbs, so dear-achieved, are sides / Full-nerved, still warm, too hard to stir. Owen adopts the perspective of a soldier witnessing a comrade's death firsthand.
