The major things in Dulce et Decorum Est, that I thought were the most non-beautiful things are; “Old beggars, coughing like hags, Gas! GAS! devil’s sick of sin, Incurable sores on innocent tongues.” These things I thought were the worst imagery devices that was used and that was really non-beautiful.
The two speakers in When in Rome, are most likely, a slave or someone under the main speaker, like a maid that is doing what she is told and the main speaker is giving the maid food because she is probably to poor to afford any. The situation is where the main or above speaker is asking her maid if she needs any food and it plays out just like that. The second speakers, words enclosed in words shows that the speaker is less authority then the other one, and that shows to differentiate them from each other.
