 Studying Wilfred Owen's poem exposure? Let's discuss how you can analyse this poem. The title itself is meant to intrigue us. It foreshadows how men are being exposed to nature. Also, pay attention to the structure of the poem. Bear in mind it's written in one, two, three, four, five stanzas. The first four stanzas have five lines, yet the last stanza has six lines, what we call a sestet. In the opening stanza, the speaker states, our brains ache and the zero here is powerful in showing just how dreary all the men feel. The winds are also described as merciless and this personification illustrates just how nature is quite brutal. The ellipses of the ends of lines one, two and three are powerful in showing just how long everything fills in this cold weather. The speaker's exhaustion is shown in the alliteration of W in worried we. The sibilance here shows just how sly and silent nature is. Also, but nothing happens in a simple sentence and it simply emphasises just how tiresome this weight is.
