The weather is presented as the real enemy of the soldiers. ### Title ![Title](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/91663506-bb48-4196-8641-13f5b3e8da0b/shutterstock_245971957.jpg) - The title could refer to the weather that the soldiers are ‘expos[ed]’. - However, Owen is also “expos[ing]” the harsh, undignified aspects of conflict that are never portrayed in propaganda or poems glorifying war. ### Poet ![Poet](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/e0cd4c87-9c57-46de-841f-c55b4c4ef15c/shutterstock_651166063.jpg) - Wilfred Owen is one of the most well-known WW1 poets who was famously anti-war. - He fought in the war and this poem is a realistic, unheroic portrayal of fighting. - Owen went to war on two occasions and was killed on the second. ## Key Ideas in Exposure Owen portrays a soldier freezing in the trenches as he waits for an attack. Through this, he reveals the brutality of war that is less well-publicised. The poem explores the agony of waiting and the pain and suffering inflicted on soldiers by the elements. ### Misery in war ![Misery in war](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/1d2c89a7-ccfa-4d76-9db8-d95277dd25de/shutterstock_245966614.jpg) - As with other poems by Owen, the poem focuses on aspects of war that are not glamorous. - Unlike the propaganda materials that focused on the glory, that war would bring to the soldiers and the heroes they would become, this poem reveals the horrific day-to-day misery experienced by those who went to war. ### Loss of humanity ![Loss of humanity](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/318d9816-2941-491a-8c5a-5b0bbc8b7151/shutterstock_188585684.jpg) - There is a sense that the men lose their humanity and dignity. This is suggested through phrases such as “Slowly, our ghosts drag home” and “we cringe in holes”. - This depiction is the antithesis (opposite) to images of heroism soldiers would have seen before the war. ### Pointlessness of war ![Pointlessness of war](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2025-09/15c9a22b-b47a-47a9-aabc-ff6dc1da3e35/5460641c-5ca8-45c3-8115-14ebe4820d23.png) - The pointlessness of war is emphasised throughout. The speaker in the poem seems to have lost sight of what he is fighting for. ### Weather and boredom ![Weather and boredom](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/d1e1dbf2-ff3f-4772-841d-4334a43c5b17/shutterstock_549728485.jpg) - The weather and boredom are presented as the real enemy of the soldiers. - The soldiers are anxious and afraid and each new day brings no hope but more misery and despair. ### Lasting effects of war ![Lasting effects of war](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/db610d16-cb9a-4538-a4f8-847b580a7963/shutterstock_694179865.jpg) - The speaker hints at the fact that war changes the soldiers irreversibly as they no longer fit in when they return home. - The negative consequences of war are lasting. ## Test yourself on Summary - Which of these are true about Wilfred Owen? - What is presented as the **real** enemy to the soldiers in Wilfred Owen's Exposure? - What could the title of the poem Exposure refer to? - Who wrote the poem Exposure? - Which of these are key ideas in Exposure?
