English lit: GCSE Controlled Assessment – Shakespeare

How have the extremes of emotion expressed in Titus Andronicus and selected WWI poetry been effectively created by the writers’ craft and performance of the drama text on stage, on screen and in the classroom?
Shakespeare wrote 37 plays in his lifetime, in this essay I am going to talk about his first: Titus Andronicus.
Similar to plays are poems, this essay is going to draw a comparison between both Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus and Wilfred Owen’s Anthem for Doomed Youth. Separated over a period of 300 years you would have expected literature to have changed however there are more similarities between these two authors than meets the eye as both of their works were made to be projected by the voice. This causes a range of similar techniques and styles throughout the literature that they created to ensure that the message that the words were carrying were heard by their audience and cause a stir of thought inside of the minds of the masses.
Emotions are the key to empathy. Both writers triggered the release of emotions in their works to develop an emphatic link with their audience. Wilfred Owen, born in March 1893 was a soldier stationed on the front lines at the time he was 21. He died on the 4th of November 1918, 7 days before the armistice. He was most famous for his war poems. The reason that he wrote poetry was to spread word of the actual happenings in war as there was a large amount of propaganda giving false information about the glory that war would bring you to ensure that you would support the war effort. The fact that he died in the war in which he was forewarning produces a large amount of dramatic irony within all of his works. This amplifies the concepts that reside in them and in particular the emotions that they induce.
