"The Call" by Jessie Pope and "The General" by Rupert Brooke, hold great significance in capturing different aspects of World War I and the varied attitudes towards war. "The Call" reflects the prevailing attitude during the early years of the war, where there was a strong sense of patriotism and enthusiasm. It showcases the propaganda and societal pressure that encouraged young men to join the military, portraying war as a noble and heroic endeavor. This poem captures the fervor and nationalistic sentiment that characterized the early stages of World War I. "The General" offers a contrasting perspective. It provides a more critical examination of the leadership and the realities of war. Rupert Brooke questions the understanding and empathy of the military leadership, highlighting the disconnect between the generals and the soldiers on the front lines. Together, these poems offer a glimpse into the diverse attitudes towards war during World War I. "The Call" represents the initial enthusiasm and glorification, while "The General" reflects a more critical and introspective view. They both contribute to our understanding of the varied experiences and perceptions of war during this significant period in history.
