Another significant idea explored by Owen in "Disabled" is the contrast between the myth of war, romanticized and censored by propaganda, and the gruesome and brutal reality of war , experienced by the protagonist and Owen himself. Owen shapes and shapes the structure of the poem so that the myth and reality of war are also deliberately juxtaposed so that the reader's perceptions and understanding of the extreme contrast of war are clearly identified. Owen first describes in extreme detail the reality of war with graphic images in Stanza III. This can be seen in the quote: “It lost its color a long way from here.” The action of the protagonist losing his color is a metaphor that Owen uses effectively to symbolize the protagonist losing a lot of blood, giving the reader their first hint at the brutality of war. “Color” can also be interpreted as the fruitful and colorful events of life, which the protagonist will now be deprived of, as his life is fading away. Owen mirrors the “blue trees” in Stanza II with this quote, in which the two colors are in binary opposition. The color “blue” depicts and creates a sense of euphoria and romance. Having now lost this "colour", the protagonist will no longer feel euphoria or affection, but will live a "grey" life, as mentioned in Stanza I. The phrase "very far from here" also suggests the difficulty for the protagonist in finding this “lost color”. Because he had lost this “color” so far away from here, Owen suggests that his loss may be permanent and adds to the tragedy and pathos of his situation. The next line in Stanza III also shows the reality of war: “Poured down shell- holes, till the veins ran dry” The action of having......the center of the paper......the arms; and has no more arms to take care of; he is no longer part of a group but is completely isolated, therefore he no longer has the notion of "Esprit de Corps". All these promises turned out to be empty and unfounded, which highlights Owen's cynicism and bitterness towards the role of Propaganda. Because Owen had experienced war himself, he maintains a furious, angry, and bitter stance towards propaganda as he knows the number of young men's lives that would be claimed by it, especially when many young men's judgment was flawed. Furthermore, he knows that censoring and romanticizing war will deceive the vast population, meaning that family members and friends will not realize the danger their children, siblings, or friends are imminently facing. I think Owen feels that young people are being persuaded to sign up with dishonest promises, and he is trying to emphasize this to readers..
