Paper Summary:
This literary study compares and contrasts the various aspects of war that are depicted in "Lilacs Last in the Door-yard Bloom'd" by Walt Whitman and "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" by Ambrose Bierce. In similar ways, Whitman's work is an elegiac poem that honors the death of Abraham Lincoln, which Bierce's short story also exemplifies in his tale of the execution of Peyton Farquhar. However, both stories reflect contrasting sides of the Civil War conflict in how they remember and honor those that fought for both sides. In essence, both of these wartime literary works depict death, but have profoundly different points of view in relation to the ideological duality of the Civil War.More papers on Walt Whitman and Ambrose Bierce:
