World War I (1914-1918) led many people to question society as soldiers from nations around the world slaughtered one another. The poem “Dulce Et Decorum Est” describes a soldier dying from poison gas. It was written by Wilfred Owen, a British soldier during the war. In the poem, Owen challenges a line from Odes by Roman poet Horace—“Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori,” which roughly translated means “It is sweet and proper to die for one’s country.”
