    This document compares and contrasts the poems "Manhunt" and "Dulce et Decorum Est" in terms of their plots, messages, contexts, languages, and structures. Both poems depict the horrors of war and aim to show that war is not as glorious as propaganda claims. However, they differ in their specific contexts - "Manhunt" describes a wife's efforts to help her husband recover from mental and physical trauma after modern war, while "Dulce et Decorum Est" directly criticizes pro-war propaganda from World War I through vivid imagery of a gas attack. Overall, the document analyzes similarities and differences between the two poems in conveying their anti-war messages.
