A comparation between Lord Tennyson's 'Charge of the Light Brigade' and Wilfred Owen's 'Dulce et Decorum Est', both of them were poets that wrote about war and we will have the chance to see this subject from two different points of view.

Most literature portrays soldiers at heroic, especially when they give up their lives for a cause. A different viewpoint is seen in two poems: Lord Alfred Tennyson's "The Charge of the Light Brigade" and "The Charge at Parihaka" by Jessie Mackay. Both poems question the unquestioning nature of soldiers heading into battle.
