'Dulce et Decorum est' and 'Peace' are both poems written during the First World War. As I compare them, it becomes clear that both Wilfred Owen and Rupert Brooke have very different opinions about the war. In the poem 'Dulce et Decorum est,' Wilfred Owen talks about how the war is unbelievably terrible. He is very negative about it, and doesn't think that this life should be wasted. For example, Wilfred Owen immediately explains …showed first 75 words of 710 total…

…showed last 75 words of 710 total…into cleanness leaping." This explains that the soldiers are diving into cleanness (as in water) and God is purifying it as they go along. In conclusion I think that these two poems have very different ideas about the war. "Peace" is pro-war, explaining how good it is and how we should die for our country. "Dulce et Decorum est." is the total opposite, saying that life is a valuable thing, and should not be wasted.
