Question 23:What event heavily influenced Owen's poetry?

  • First World War

  • Russian Revolution

  • French Revolution

  • American Civil War

Answer

Owen was heavily influenced by the First World War. He saw first hand the horrors of trench warfare and the deaths of thousands of young men. This experience made him question the morality of war and the nature of patriotism. His poetry often reflects on the suffering and loss of the war, and he called for peace and an end to war.
