How can we compare protest literature?

Thematic Focus Journal entry-> What specific images, lines or scene from each work makes these two works anti-war stories.

In "Autumn", the fact that the man regretted knowingly killing an innocent man and lives with it everyday shows a protest against the war. He is too ashamed and worried to tell his daughter what he lives with everyday.

In "Dulce et Decorum Est", you can tell by the way that the author describes and reenacts his memories, that he sincerely regretted a war that he saw had no meaning and took innocent lives.
