The usualy Rhyme pattern of an English sonnet favours a problem or incident in the first octaves, with a resolutuon in the final sestet. WIlfred OWen departs from this approach. Genrally, thew octave has a problem, and then a 'non-resolution' of substitiution. WHat real funeral will our boys have? No passing beels for the dead - only rifle and machine gun fire. No mourning voice - except for the sonnet is love, but this poem has a sort of anti-love, or rather, a lkove that turns bad. The young male population have so much patriotic love, and are so eager to serve, but this love turns sour. They spend time rotting in the wastes of the trenches, only to be mown down inthe bvlink of an eye by a machine-gun nest. Not only are their lives wasted, goine without the holy rite of funeral, but the lives of their loved ones at home are also ruined.asdhjadhgsajkdh khjksd ajkhjks dhahdjsk jjkjkashd skadj hjksahdask ksjdajksdaksad j j jj j jj j jj j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j jj j j j j j j j The usualy Rhyme pattern of an English sonnet favours a problem or incident in the first octaves, with a resolutuon in the final sestet...
