While on the plane Harry tells Sally he is about to get married with his fiancé Helen.

Conflicting perspectives arise when personalities clash, as evident in Ted Hughes' poems 'Your Paris' and 'The Minotaur', and in The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath. These texts demonstrate the influence of egocentric bias on shaping perspectives, and how composers manipulate textual forms and features to shape our understanding of events and personalities. Hughes' publication of 'Birthday Letters' was a challenge against the dominant mythologies which had surrounded his and Plath's relationship ever since her suicide, and a medium through which he presented his own side of the story. Much of the criticism of the time came from feminists and American admirers of Plath, thus he sought to absolve himself of the blame which had been attributed to him for the breakdown and dissolution of their marriage. In 'Your Paris', it is immediately made apparent that Hughes and Plath had antagonistic outlooks even in the early days of their relationship.

Wilfred Owen was an active soldier during WWI, who used his horrific experiences during the war to write his poems. His poems stemmed from his views on war, as he believed that although war was sometimes necessary, it was futile and evil. Two of his poems, ‘Exposure’ and ‘Disabled’ both reveal the price paid by soldiers during WWI. ‘Exposure’ examines the more psychological effects on the soldiers and is written from the view of the soldiers on the front line, ‘Disabled’ shows the aftermath and repercussion of fighting in WWI and the physical damage it caused. The first word in ‘Exposure’ is ‘our’ and is written in first person plural, showing the reader that Owen wanted to convey the plight of the universal soldier and how they all suffered the same fate, no matter their side.
Not So Sweet Nor Becoming Wilfred Owen was a man of two professions: writing and fighting. As a soldier in World War 1, Owen was horrified by his experiences and the tragedies he witnessed. These memories motivated him to write poems that relayed the truths of war. “Dulce Et Decorum Est” is perhaps the most famous of these pieces. When looking for a poem to analyze, this one jumped out at me; immediately upon reading its title, I thought of another piece of art that references the same phrase.
