|POINT |QUOTE(S) |FEATURE TO ANALYSE |
|In the first stanza we are presented with a |“waiting for dark” |Ambiguity – Dark = night-time/sleep or death. |
|description of the soldier’s present life. We feel| | |
|sympathy for the miserable situation he appears to| | |
|be in. |“shivered” | |
| | | |
| | | |
| |“ghastly suit of grey” | |
|When the poet moves back in time to describe the | | |
|boy’s happy life before the war, we begin to see | | |
|how awful his present existence is by contrast to | | |
|his joyful and handsome youth | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
|The reader is upset to discover in the fourth | | |
|stanza that the boy shouldn’t really have been a | | |
|soldier and that he signed up illegally for all | | |
|the wrong reasons. | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
|The poet’s critical tone when describing the way | | |
|the boy was treated upon return from war (compared| | |
|to when he left) makes the reader pity the | | |
|soldier. | | |

|Towards the end of the poem, Owen uses a number of| | |
|techniques to elicit the reader’s sympathy when he| | |
|considers the soldier’s future and returns to the | | |
|image he began with: the soldier sitting alone in | | |
|his wheelchair waiting from someone to put him to | | |
|bed. | | |
|The structure of ‘Disabled’ helps to convey the | |. |
|confused and distressed state of the young | | |
|soldier, and the tragedy of his situation. | | |
