Wilfred Owen’s protest poem Strange Meeting contrasts harshly with Mary Henderson’s An Incident. While Owen argues the futility of war‚ "a nation’s trek from progress"‚ Henderson likens the soldier’s death on the battlefield to the crucifixion of Christ‚ advocating it as a honourable‚ almost divine sacrifice for the motherland. Henderson recounts an incident where she tends to a wounded soldier‚ displaying a motherly characteristic consistent with other female war poets. The soldier is identified

This is the idea behind a tragic hero; a person of great importance comes to a tragic end because of a serious flaw in his character. Both Othello and Macbeth find themselves on top of the world one moment and being crushed beneath it the next. The next logical comparison to make between two of Shakespeare’s tragic heroes is who
