What is the poem 'exposure' by wilfred Owen about?

Answer 1

Pretty much about Weather.

One of Owen's main things was that he tried to portray the innocence of humanity as a whole- so he hardly ever blames "the Germans" or people, he instead personifies weaponry like in "The Last Laugh" or the weather like in "Exposure"

Owen talks of Dawn having an "army" and points out to the readers back home that war wasn't just dodging bullets, but also surviving the "merciless iced east winds". (example of alliteration.) If you read this you are a sad person don't read anything again

Answer 2

In "Exposure" the soldiers face extreme weather conditions. The soldiers signed up for a war, knowing that there would be killing and death. However, many probably did not realize the terrors that nature itself could bring. The soldiers faced snow, heavy rain, mud, and cold frosts. The men waited anxiously for action, hearing the noises of war far off in the distance, but everything remained silent around them except for their own anxieties and the weather.

Answer 3

"Exposure" by Wilfred Owen is a war poem that vividly describes the harsh conditions faced by soldiers in the trenches during World War I. The poem conveys the sense of fear, desperation, and isolation experienced by the soldiers as they are exposed to the brutal elements of nature, such as the cold, snow, and wind. Owen also explores the psychological toll of war and the futility of fighting in such harsh conditions.
