Smile, Smile, Smile
by Wilfred Owen
'Smile, Smile, Smile' Summary
Smile, Smile, Smile is a collection of poems by Wilfred Owen, one of the most famous poets of World War I. Owen's poems are known for their realism, compassion, and anger, and they offer a powerful indictment of the war and its effects on the soldiers who fought in it. "Smile, Smile, Smile" is one of Owen's most famous poems, and it captures the horrors of war in a single, unforgettable image. The poem describes a group of soldiers who are forced to smile for a photograph, even though they are exhausted and terrified. The poem ends with the line "Smile, smile, smile," which is repeated over and over again, like a mantra. This line captures the irony of the situation, and it also suggests the futility of trying to hide the horrors of war.Book Details
