Why did Wilfred Owen write the poem Dulce et Decorum Est?
Wilfred Owen wrote the poem “Dulce Et Decorum Est” to show that although many people think it is honourable and brave to die for your country, one death will not be remembered or seen as important. The man mentioned in the poem that was thrown onto the wagon would have happened to many more men as well but many of them are just forgotten about, showing that “Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori” truly is a lie in his opinion.
