I haven't quite developed a thesis yet, but the idea that I am trying to address in my paper - which is about Wilfred Owen's poem "Dulce Et Decorum Est" - is that it was the lack of vulnerability of the soldier who recruited the narrator to World War I, that created in unrealistic expectations for the boy, resulting in an even more traumatic war experience and after effect.
1. Where can I find articles that connect contemporary applications and ideas to the work of literature in my paper?
2. I'm having trouble finding sources that talk specifically about the affect of expectations - any suggestions on where to look for those?
3. Where could I find other works of literature that display similar ideas of vulnerability or expectations, connected specifically with war?
