A Comparison Of Differing Views/Attitudes To War With Reference To Regeneration, Strange Meeting, Selected Poetry and A Journeys End David Lloyd George once commented, in a highly patriotic sense upon ‘the making of a new Europe-a new world’, to what degree was this true is debatable to a great extent, after all the armistice signed on November 11th 1918, didn’t confirm victory but only to learn a horrific number of 9,000,000 million fatalities were caused due to world war 1. Surely enough this was a new Europe? As a country, life would go on in England, but for wives, children and family the tragedy seemed to live on. For many the thought of a war had urged men to fight for their country and ‘do†¦show more content†¦The pre war poems most definitely would have been pro war, as at this time no one was aware of the deadly consequences after the war. Some poems were a device to raise the morale of young men to encourage them to go to war. In Jessie Pope’s, ‘Who’s For The Game’, the fact that she is a women emphasises the reason to go to war. Pope personifies the country as a ‘She’, which vaguely gives the image of a man impressing a woman. ‘And she’s looking and calling for you’ Pope has created an extremely lighthearted poem, which can’t be taken seriously at all, as she refers to the war as being a ‘game’. She tries to bring out the theme of male competition, with the idea of who can be the best? ‘Who’ll grip and tackle the job unafraid’ This poem proves to be ideological, as it’s not the truth, but its what would have been preferred to the real outcome. Similarly Harold Begbie also created a highly patronizing poem to encourage soldiers to war in ‘Fall In’. Begbie refers to the boy as ‘Sonny’ and takes us through a narrative of how life would be if one did not participate in war. Like Jessie Pope, Begbie has also used women as a device but in a more obvious way. ‘But what will you lack when your mate goes by With a girl who cuts you dead?’ The general attitude that can be detected in these poems is of a non-serious one.
